gephry Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 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!
Reed Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 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.
Vaughan Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Globals are unique to each user, there will be no conflicts. No need for user ids or anything.
