Global field not updating on Hosted FM FIle

garrys
in FileMaker Server v7 - v11

Featured Replies

Hi,

Im hosting a single FM file with few tables using Filemaker Server 8. I have a problem with a global field on one of my table that doesn't update its value even it has been changed from any of the client PC. How can I get it updated as soon as it is changed by any of the users?

Please help.

Thanks,

Garu

Each user has their own global values. Therefore, if one user changes a global value, it does not affect any other user, as you've seen.

So, if you want to broadcast a change to a global, you'll need each user to run a script that sets the global value. You can put this in a navigation script-- for instance, the script you use to go to the Main Menu. Or, if the global field is a calc field set with global storage, then each user should see the change right away (I'm not sure when...record commit?).
