In migrating many of our users to Lotus Notes 8, we have recently found that some of them have experienced problems with week numbering, as 2009 has 53 weeks. Week number 53 is shown as week 1. This error carries over to 2010, meaning that week 1 is shown as week 2, and so on. Users using Lotus Notes 6.* and 7.* are not experiencing the problem.
This is apparently caused by a setting in the operating system, but can be fixed in Lotus Notes. Here’s how:

Resolve "Illegal Circular USE:DocumentConversions" errors
After upgrading a user to Notes 6.5.4, she got an error saying “Illegal Circular USE:DocumentConversions” when opening her mailfile. She reported that she’d get this problem when opening folders.
The key to solving this problem, is knowing that the user has been upgraded from Notes version 5 to Notes version 6.5.4. From one version of Notes to the next, new functionality is implemented using design changes to the mailfile. When a user upgrades from one version to the next, the design need to be upgraded as well.
If, after replacing the design, the problem still occurs, you should try refreshing it as well. This has solved the problem for me a couple of times.
