alive and well out there.
Many companies are trying to get their Notes 5 servers and
clients in check, while others are quickly moving to Domino
/ Notes 6.5 and then there are the brave and the few who are

Bad Habits of Lotus Script Debugging
When you create a program, Like Inbox
Cleaner, one would think that you can just write, test, and
go. However, the first thing you discover is that you have a local
mail file and a mail file on the server.
When you are working on your agents, you may have your mail
file open on the server, and the code you are writing open in your
local copy of the database. So, when you switch back to your mail
file, the same bug seems to still be there.
What is actually happening is this. You saved your LotusScript
to your local database and you forced
a re-compile, but you never replicated those
changes to the server. The best way to avoid this seemingly simple
(but common error) is to open both the Designer and your mail file
on your local desktop. Or, if you have a good network connection,
open both the Designer and mail file on the server!
And magically, these funny little errors will go away.
