true variables possible?

Is it possible to create/use true variables in Filemaker Pro or are global fields the only option?

Thank you,

rlbryant

Within a calculation, you can use the Let function to define a local variable. If you want a value that is available outside of a particular calculation, then you'll have to use a global.

The other option is to have a table (with only one record) which has a number of fields in it, which you can use to hold variable values, accessible by all the other tables in your solution.

True, but I would consider that more of a constant than a variable. wink.gif It depends on what the implication of 'true variable' is. Ask.gif

You're absolutely right. I was thinking of the value of "x", rather than "x" itself.
