Thanks for your reply. I deleted the ./wine directory under home and
created it again by running winecfg. After creating the drives in
windows partition
No, don't do this!
nsridhar@NSIBM2:~> wine /windows/D/Program\ Files/lotus/notes/nlnotes.exe
Bad!
Le sigh...
$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ winetricks vcrun2005
$ wine lotus_notes_setup.exe # DO NOT RUN YOUR WINDOWS INSTALLED
VERSION, INSTALL IT FRESH IN WINE
Then report back.
Thanks again for the prompt reply. I apologise for the delay in replying as
I had to arrange for the Lotus Notes Program setup disc. I followed the
instructions as given above. I tried initially to install lotus notes from
wine in the partition D, but, it gave errors and did not install.
Later on I selected the c: drive and the Lotus Notes now works properly
wiht wine. I had to make the initial setup and configuration for the Lotus
Notes. However, the setting of only TCPIP for the network was not possible
from the menu of User-Preferences. I finally opened the notes.ini file and
changed the configuration to lookup only for TCPIP and not LAN0 or other
networks.
However, I am at a disadvantage since I have local replicas of my database
in the /windows/D directory (which I am forced to use sometimes in our
office due to network rules). In the earlier 32 bit version of opensuse, I
was running the windows version directly from wine in opensuse and was
replicating/updating the mail database locally on the same file both from
windows and linux. Now I had to copy my id file, address book as well as the
local replica of my mail database to c:\Program Files\lotus\notes\data unde
home/nsridhar/.wine also. Would it be possible to replicate the same local
file both from windows as well as linux?

Please reply to the list, so others can help/be helped.
Assuming you have write permissions to where the file is stored, you
could try a symlink. However, NTFS support is just now starting to
become fruitful in Linux, so you should be cautious.

Hello,<br>
<br>
I think I have (hopefully) solved the problem. In my linux, I pointed
out to the mail database as well as mail id file which are located in
my windows D: drive. The windows D: drive has been partititoned with
vfat so that both the windows as well as linux systems can write to it.
I deleted the local mail database as well as the local mail id file
from /home/nsridhar/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/lotus/notes/data. I
also opened the mail dataase in our office server and had both the
icons in my workspace. I had to add for replication of the databases by
right clicking on the database and replicate. It asked for replication
via background replicator and then I had to once again check th
replication settings. <br>
<br>
I thank you all for the support provided.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
