Background:
All our sales reps use a company-issued portable PC running the Notes 5.0.4 client. All the machines are the same speed, run Windows 98 SE, and are set up the same way. The Notes application runs on local databases; it is not server-based.
The Problem:
One user is experiencing very slow (i.e., 7 seconds) response while using a particular feature of the application. That feature includes a LotusScript line that adds a document to a folder using the "PutInFolder" method. It is this line that takes the full 7 seconds! But only for one user.
How You Can Help:
I'm hoping someone might have some suggestions as to why the method takes so long on one user's machine, while it typically takes only a tenth of a second or less on other user's machines.
Additional Questions:
Does anyone understand how a folder works? And what happens to a local folder when every user replicates it to a server copy of the database? Can a folder become corrupted in such a way so that it can still be used, but only very slowly?
