merlyn383 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 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?

Lee Smith Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Global fields become local to each user in a served environment. You can not change the server's value from the user's machine. HTH Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Søren Dyhr Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 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. --sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
