global value reseting to blank

each time I open a dbase a global value has changed to blank - any ideas appreciated.

Hi John

Are you accessing the file over a shared enviroment? If so the following from the help files is probably the reason:

If your file is shared, only the host's changes to global field data are saved. Changes are saved only when the file is closed.

To expand on flooks answer a little.

If you are working in a multi user environment, on opening a file, any globals will revert to the state they were in when last closed as a single user.

To change them you can un-host the file, change the global and then rehost it or you might set the globals to the required state at the beginning of a session by using set field script steps in a start up script
