Notes client error: "An error occurred while saving: Special database object cannot be located"
IBM (Error) Monday, 28 May 2012 by paul

When trying to save a calendar entry in the Notes client the following error is displayed: "An error occurred while saving: Special database object cannot be located". This is due to the client being unable to save the calendar entry's alarm information into the folder ($Alarms) - probably due to design corruption. Editing the mailfile design and then resaving the ($Alarms) folder fixes this issue.
