Global Fields in Multi User Enviroment

[modles]

Hi Guys

I have quite a few scripts that rely on storing temp data in global fields (don't we all). Now this all works fine in a single user environment, but what happens when i deploy this using Filemaker Server with multiple users? I'm thinking that my scripts will go all screwy because the global data of one person will be overwritten by that of another. One example is I have a global field that tracks where the user has been in order to provide a 'back' button, i can't see this working in a multi user environment.

So I guess unless Filemaker Server takes care of this sortof thing by itself, I need to know how to create a user specific global field, just like create a 'session' or session cookie in ASP etc.

Any Ideas?

Cheers

B:

Globals are local to the client in a FM Server environment, so you don't need to worry about users overwriting each other's globals. However, each time a user logs on, the globals will revert to the value they held the last time the file was opened in a single-user environment in FMP (i.e., by the developer).
