auto enter data bug globals FM7.0v1?

in FileMaker Pro v7 – v11

Featured Replies

I have a database longtime ago converted from FM5pro to FM7.

I have global fields, set up as text, and with auto enter data text, allow override. I use these globals for print heads on certain lay-outs, when not filled out by the user the auto enter text is something like "Welcome to L.A.P." to avoid an empty line, to avoid the absence of a header.

Always ok in FM5.

In FM7.0v1 (I know, not the newest, that's v3) when I create a new record, the content of the global is overwritten by it's auto enter content!

Anyone familiar with this?

upgrade.

To clarify: upgrade your v1 to v3, the updaters are on FileMaker's web page at http://www.filemaker.com/support/downloads/index.html

there are several pretty significant bugs with v1
