Opening .nsf using Internet Explorer

[senthilk99]

Hi,

Can I use Internet Explorer to open a .nsf file. I do not have lotus notes client to open this .nsf file. I have only IE and please let me know how to use it to open the .nsf file?.

Thank you in advance.

I'm no expert by any means, but Google groups had this:

I do not think that what you want is possible. The nsf format is proprietary, so there is no common application that can deal with it.
Access can open a Notes database via an ODBC driver, but I'm not sure you can do that without having Notes installed locally.
IE (or any other browser) can open a Notes database, if the db is on a Notes server with the HTTP task enabled and if the server and db allows unauthenticated (ie anonymous) access. If you don't even have the Notes client, I don't think this solution is for you.

In my opinion, your best hope is to get a Notes client.
