ERROR: The linked document cannot be found in the view

Document number: 20024

The Lotus Notes error The linked document cannot be found in the view appears when you attempt to open a link to a document that has been deleted, that has not yet been saved, or that resides on a Notes server that is not currently active on the network. You may receive this error with mail documents that you have deleted from your mailbox.

To solve this, you must have access to both the server and database containing the source for the link. To verify your access, follow these steps:

Open the document which contains the link.
Click on the Link option of the menu bar and select Link Properties....
The source server is listed in the Link Description: section of the Basics tab.
Check for availability of this server and retry. For information about checking a network connection, see Eureka! document 50017 — Verify that you have a valid network connection....

Note: If a linked document is contained in both a server-based database and a local database, you can specify which database Notes should search first. Simply place the icon of the local replica icon above or to the left of the server-based replica and Notes will automatically search the local replica first.
