Showing value of variable/global

[Ralph Schwegler]

Hello

I have some buttons which allow me to define some values which will help choosing the kind of report which should be created.

The button sets a variable value (for instance to "details", "daily", "monthly") and the script acts accordingly.

My questions:

• is there a way to show the value of the variable on the current layout? (found it after a much needed coffeebreak... )

• would it be wiser to use a global to store the choice?

Thank you for your short answer.

Cheers

I prefer a variable for this sort of thing. If you ever change your mind about the script, you won't have to delete a field. Adding criteria (e.g. sales person) is easy and doesn't require getting into the schema.
