"The Active View Cannot be Deleted" Attempting to Delete "Untitled" View in R5
This is one of those things that happens just infrequently enough that I forget how to solve it each time. While the KnowledgeBase refers to the "Untitled" view, this also happens with other views, often the one you have marked as Default. So I stick this out here more for my quick reference in the future... :-)
Error: "The Active View Cannot be Deleted" Attempting to Delete "Untitled" View in R5
Document Number:
1085468
Problem
Using Domino Designer R5, you create
a new database that is not based on one of the available database templates
by selecting File, Database, New from the menu and selecting the default
Blank option for the template in the New Database dialog box. In
Domino Designer, under the Views potion of the new blank databases, you
see one view titled (Untitled) that is set as the default view for the
database. You create a new view, give it a title and make this new
view the default database view. This causes the view called (Untitled)
to no longer be the default view. However, if you attempt to delete
the view called (Untitled), the following error displays even though the
(Untitled) view is not the active view:
"The active view cannot be deleted."
Content
This issue has been reported to Lotus
Quality Engineering. In the Notes Client select the view you want
to delete, then from the menu bar, select "Action" then select
"View Options" and then select "Delete View". This
will delete the active view. When you switch back to the Designer
Client the view will be gone.

You've not only saved me serious head injuries but you've also saved my company one LCD screen. Trust me, it was close...
