How to create table-spanning globals in FMP7?

Featured Replies

Folks,

I have a multiple file database which I'm currently rewriting for use with FMP7. While doing so, I'm trying to improve the internal structure a little. Here's just one issue:

Currently I'm using 24u Prefs+Globals Plug-In to hand over variables across the individual FM files WITHOUT the need for any relationship.

Question: as the tables (which were previously individual files) are in FMP7 now all integrated within one (database) file, is there such a thing as a table-wide variable, so to say a global which I can retrieve from any table, regardless of any relationship???

Globals in FM7 require no relationship to be accessed.

... as long as the file is on the TO graph.
