Hi,

I'm making a small database with different files where more than one people are working with. I'm using global fields to transport certain data to other files, or for my scripts.

My question (and I hope it's not an old one) is this: Are global fields the same for all users currently using the database, or is this user specific? If the first is the case, I must be more carefull in programming my database

thanks,

AJ

Did you mean shared files, if so tha answer is no. Ie every opened copy of shared file has it's own set of globals.
