Question : Workspace suddenly cleared

Hi, we're on Notes and Domino 6. I had a user, needing an extra tab on the workspace with some new databases. This was added, and the user worked with the new databases all right. Then I had a call from the user, that all databases execpt one was missing. I checked the user's PC, and it seems like the desktop6.ndk file had been completely resat to the inital state. File size had dropped to 512 kb. I had a copy of the .ndk-file to restore, but would really like to know what causes this to happen and if there is some way to prevent this - and if other ways exist to recover the Workspace-file - besides plain restoring the file from backup.
Thank you.

Answer : Workspace suddenly cleared

What could have happened:
- the user's notes.ini isn't or wasn't where it should have been
- the user double-clicked a Notes database in the Explorer

Notes is then started, but not in the Notes data directory where all the other databases are. It starts with the generation of the databases it needs, and one of them is the Workspace database.

Or someone accidentally removed the Workspace, that's also possible.

Otherwise, no clue.

Check for multiple desktop*.* files on the client's PC.
