If you give me a little time, I can run your problem by our
Lotus Notes administrator where I work and have an answer
or possible solution for you tomorrow.

Thanks

Folks,

        I know that this is a somewhat strange question to ask on this
list, but I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar with Lotus Notes?

        It seems that my wife has been religiously archiving off her old
mail, but what she didn't know was that when the archive database was
created, it was given an expiration date.  That date has now passed,
and all the archived data appears to be gone.

        So far as we can tell, the data is actually still there (the
database file is still 955MB in size and hasn't gone down in size),
it's just that Notes refuses to show it.  Is there any way you know
of to recover this data, and then copy it to another database that
doesn't have an expiration date?

        I've advised her that the first thing to do is to copy the
database file to a backup, and make sure that backup is secure.
Unfortunately, the database file has been accessed multiple times
since she first discovered the problem, but so far as I know, no
further messages have been "deleted", and the database certainly
hasn't been compacted.

        Thanks!

Do you hate Microsoft?  Do you hate Outlook?  Then visit the Anti-Outlook
page at <http://www.rodos.net/outlook/> and see how much fun you can have.
