How to make an object global and to hold the value assigned

Hi All,

I am using a shared script library and I declared an Object and in the same lib Initialize I made it to Nothing.

I use the script library in the Forms’s button click. When ever i go to another form and return the Object is getting reset to Nothing. But i would like to have the Object retain the value which is assigned first time till i close the database. Is there a way to do this.

Thanks in advance,

Agasthya

I haven’t tried it, but I imagine you could declare the object in the Declarations section of the database script and initialize it in the Initialize section. I belive it should then be accessible to any script at any time. I’m not positive, mind you, but it’s worth trying.

No – each bit of script has its own context. The problem has been discussed here before, though.

Thanks Andre, are there any plans to support the global objects in the newer releases?Agasthya

Subject: No, not possible … Alas: Notes does not support global variables in the scope of a database …

You could save the current value in the database e.g. in a profile document.
