Global fields and FMServer

[alopas]

Hi,

I am hosting databases in a separate computer using FileMaker Server. I have defined some global fields, and I need to change their value quite often. The thing is that when I close FMPro and open the databases again, the value of the global fields hasn't been updated. (Goes back to the original value). How can I solve this?? Thank you.

You cannot modiy "globals" and have them saved. I really hate the term globals, because it is misleading. They are really user/session specific variables. They will revert back to default values once the session is closed.

What you need is a single record Preferences file. This will have a single record with actual fields in it, which can be updated and are stored and are not session or user specific.
