Using Globals to Search (Multi-user)

[lonesomejubilee]

Hi,

I use the technique of creating a global field that I use for a pop up window search box. The user enters info and the global field passes onto the search field (via set field), and finishes by clearing out the global to make it ready for the next use. It works great... but how would I use this same technique in a multi user environment? If user 1 is using the global field and user 2 tries to search... as soon as the search box opens, won't it already be populated by user 1's information? How would I get around this?

THanks. V.

Globals are specific to each user. Not to worry. When the second User runs the script, THEIR global will be empty. This is the beauty of globals in multi-user environments. :wink2:

Cool, I didn't realize that... thanks.

Can you post how you pass the contents of the global field into the find command. I can set the global field to have the contents I want, but I can't figure out how to get the find command to search for the contents of the global field.

Thanks,

There are a thousand examples here on FM Forums but, since I just posted this one a half hour ago, I'll refer to it:
