Each time I reopen a file the global fields are cleared (shared file). Is there somewhere I can get the global to remember its previous setting?

A(s) F(ar) A(s) I K(now) = AFAIK no. Use a field (can be a single field calcualtion of concatenation) to hold he values and place the set field step in the "closing" script. Then use an "opening" script to break the field back into the globals.

Simple, Clean, FUN ! ! !

Search the Forums for "preferences file" or similar. Basically it's a file (or table) with one record that holds this kind of info. On file startup you can use a Set Field to put the correct data into the globals, or change it to a calculation field that references the field in the Prefernces file.
