shared global data in related db

in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

The standard solution for global fields that apply to all users of a shared database seems to be to put the data in those fields into a related single-record database. However, retrieving this information seems to be hit or miss. When I Set Field (Global Field, Relationship::Regular Field), sometimes the global field in the main database is correctly changed to match the info in the related database, and sometimes it remains blank.

I suspect that the related single-record database is in use simultaneously by another user; is this the likely problem, and if so, how do you avoid it?

Thanks for any thoughts.

You might try the Exit Record script step in some appropriate places.
