Need help with LOTUS NOTES: Special database object cannot be located

Asked By john j odonnell 0 points N/A Posted on - 06/29/2012

Hi,

I get the following error as I try to save a calendar entry in the Notes client.

An error occurred while saving: Special database object cannot be located

This error occurred because the client was unable to save the calendar entry's alarm information to the folder named "$Alarms" perhaps due to design corruption.

Please give a solution for this.

Screenshot of the error has been given below.

 

Thanks all.

Sometimes when you use such variables, there is a high chance that they are not getting the correct value. Means that the variable type is different and the data that you are going to pass through it or store in it is different. Like variable is of integer type and you are trying to store float type.

1. First make sure that you are using the correct data type for the $Alarm
2. Make sure that there is no null being passed to the $Alarm
3. The usage of $alarm should only be after it is being declared not before that because the instance has not yet been created of the object that you are trying to use.
