we are trying to use local replica in our office as our domino server is located offsite at a host provider and working in online mode all the time is causing too many problems

once the local replica is made the notes client is then reconfigured to use it instead of the server

upon restarting the client the following errors occur

none of the hotlinks on the homepage work, a window pops up telling the user their nsf file cannot be found and to select where to look for it

the search function does not work, same problem as with the homepage

if the user switches the location to online and then back to local everything seems to be fine and it works from the local replica

why can't it just properly use the local replica from the initial login without switiching locations

we are using domino 8.5.1 and the notes 8.5.1 client with fp3
