im trying to run a script that uses a loop and im having some problems. here is the scenario. i enter a product number as a line item in an invoice and if there are any required products then it makes new line item for each and copies the required products into the new line items. it works great until your required product requires another product. as soon as that happens your global field that is used as a counter(exit loop if)starts getting used by a second instance of the script.

any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Post the script or post the file, there's not enough info here to diagnose the problem. All I can say is that in general it's better to create as many globals as you need to avoid programming confusion, rather than try to conserve space by recycling your globals.

im not recycling the globals. the script sometimes performs a second instance of itself. if i could use a variable i would be fine but becasue the first and second instance of the script use the same global field it doesnt work as it is supposed to.

You could use a script parameter to determine which instance of the script is being called and use the appropriate global.
