Hi there,

get the following messagebox quite often after opening a db :

Any ideas for which kind of user action it is waiting for ?

It waits usually 30 seconds and then continues again.

I also was able to go faster by a combination of ESC, CR and what ever I could push on the keyboard - sometimes ! :-)

Sincerly

Hi joe

I too keep facing this issue. This usually gets mitigated by removing some of the applications (not currently under dev) from the designer interface.

  • Look for hidden dialogs: Alt+Tab through all windows, or minimize everything to see if there's a pop-up.

  • Check the code (if you have access):

    • Look for MessageBox, @Prompt, or Wait/Sleep functions.

    • Make sure modal inputs have fallbacks or timeouts.

  • Use On Error Resume Next in LotusScript to suppress unexpected pauses.

  • Add logging (e.g., writing to a text file or Notes document) before and after each suspected user interaction spot to isolate where it hangs.
