names.nsf won't open, "File does not exist" error, Please Help

[peabody99999]

When I try to open my e-mail, I receive a message that says:

Unable to open Names and Address Book (names.nsf), error: "file does not exist", locations cannot be accessed until the problem is fixed.

It was working one day, came back the next day and this error message came up. We are on Lotus Notes R5 with a Domino Server running. Any ideas why this would happen? I am the only one it is happening to.

Thanks for any help.

this problem is due to your PAB becoming corrupt. in order to resolve, you will have to :
1. compact workspace
2. replicate a new copy of the PAB
3. delete old copy of PAB
4. point notes to use new copy.


this should clear up the problem.
