Global container field

[DSTUART]

hi,

I am having trouble with a global container field i have created I am using via a server. I keep entering a paint obecjt into it for color but when I close the database and reopen i lose this value, do I need to do this locally in order to retain this value???

Hi DStuart,

I think you have answered your own question. At least you have figured out the solution.

Global Fields are local in a served enviorment. In order to have a default in a global, it has to be put in locally while the files are not being served.

do not use globals for any persistent storage in a served enviroment. use normal fields in a global (1=1, 1 record) database.
