flook Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 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.

Inky Phil Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 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 HTH Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
