This error is usually generated by the fact that a lookup is being performed in a db that does not have a default form and view defined.
To correct the error, open the db in the Designer, and choose a form, open it, go to the Form Properties and check the option "Default Database Form". Save and exit the form design.
Open the view list and do the same for a view.
That should solve your problem.

A Notes db should always have a default form and view defined. Unfortunately, there is no error when you exit the design of a db that do not have both elements.
Worse, the error only appears when you do lookups in the db, so you are not 100% sure of ever being confronted by the message.
That's life.
