June 22, 200520 yr Problem: I have a file that uses a global field as a container, and also for calculation scripts. If I have the file set to Multi-User [On] and two users have the file open....will the two users using the same Global create a conflict? I'm afraid this will be the case. Solution: I know that I can give the user a variable unique ID depending on Status( CurrentUserCount ). Then I can have the calculation use GetRepetition( Global1, Unique ID ) . . . BUT: Will this in fact create a problem and should I implement my solution?? Thanks in advance!
June 22, 200520 yr In a multi-user system, global fields are specific to each user's session. They initialize to whatever value they were last given in single-user mode, and any changes are only visible on the client machine on which they occur. Once the session has ended, any changes made to global variables are lost.
