mac Perform Script on Server

[Rick Whitelaw]

I have a file that uses an Opening and Closing script. The closing script sets a couple of global fields and the opening script references these fields. The purpose is to find a group of records and then go to a specific record. Old course, when this file is hosted, the globals can be set but revert to the original values once the file closes. Is there a way to set global fields and commit by performing the script on the server? If not I know I can get this done by another method.

You're misunderstanding the purpose of global fields: they are meant for temporary storage during a session, not for persistent storage between sessions.

You have to store the data you want to persist in a real table, in real fields.

Thanks Wim,

I understand the nature of globals. However, when the file is opened and closed locally, the global fields do persist. Just getting used to the hosted aspect of things I suppose.
