An integral part of business processes is its communication. For a collaborative, real time working environment one of the most efficient email cilents deployed extensively is IBM Lotus Notes. Lotus Notes is a popular email client application similar to Microsoft's Outlook and is a favorite among copious large and small enterprises.

Just like the other email applications, Lotus Notes is also not free from errors and corruptions. Under these circumstances, the primary resolve is to perform Lotus Notes Recovery using the following utilities:


Fixup -f
Compact- i -c -d -K
Updall -R

But some errors are resolved through these utilities. While working on Lotus Notes often an error message saying “File Cannot be Created” pops up when the user tries to access the emails and data. The aforestated error message is encountered when there is an application memory leak or application resource conflict.

In order to resolve this error, delete the cash.ndk file and relaunch Lotus Notes. Often times this does not seem to be a permanent resolve for many users. If the problem reappears, then it could be a case of corruption. Perform the following steps for Lotus Notes Recovery:

2.Open Tools -> Folder Options -> Select the View tab and under hidden files and folders check “Show Hidden files and folders” check box.
3.Search for Notes.Data.* directory.
4.Delete this and relaunch the Notes application.


This will remove the corrupt file or directory to resolve the error. If somehow the issue is not resolved, then, don't panic.
