Set field, again

[Teresa Sampaio]

Hi,

Now, I think I know how to use the set field instead of a copy/paste, but I would like to know if that will work in a server file, where there can be 2 simultaneously entries – 2 users running the same script at the same time, which is perfectly possible (and in which there will be different data trying to enter the same global field).

For better viewing, the script runs like this:

Set field [“Temp g”, “field A”]

Enter find mode []

Set field [“field A”, “Temp g”]

Perform find []

View as [view as list]

Thanks in advance for some tips.

Teresa

HI Teresa

Another thing to remember is that global fields are specific to a user - each can have different data in the 'same' global field. So in your sample above if each user was viewing a record with different data in field A then each would result in a different found set

Hi, Phil

So, you’re saying that it is ok? – sorry but my English sometimes is not as good as i wanted…and I’m not sure that I understand your answer.

Hi Teresa

Yes it is ok. Because each user can have different data in a global this is how they can find different sets.

I hope that makes sense

Phil

ps Please don't apologise for your English. It is far better than my Portugese although my daughter is studying Portugese at University.

Thanks a lot, Phil!

And if your daughter happens to need help, please ask me.
