I have a multi-file relational database. One file contains a termcode which all other files use. The termcode is declared globablly in the "Admin" database since there is only the one record in that database. My problem is that when I am connected remotely, I can change the value in the field, but when i close the file and open it up again, the value is reset to it's original value. The only way that I have found to change the value is to stop FM Server and open the file locally to change the data. Is there some way that I can do this whithout having to stop the FM server?

Global fields become local to each user in a served environment. You can not change the server's value from the user's machine.

I see,

Well then, I guess I just have to do it the hard way. Thanx for the knowledge.

Well you could allow more than on records with no globals in the Admin base/table but instead of the X (carthesian relation) could use Get ( UserName ) as key in a straight forward = relation. All the common stuff for all users could then be linked one realtion more away, or even redundantly be autoentered values for each record in the admin base.
