Efficient Global Variables
When calculation, local and global variables came onto the FileMaker scene, it was one of those "game changers". Especially, for how you go about creating a FileMaker solution. You no longer needed to create all kinds of global fields for the purpose of storing information dealing with how the solution operates.
Whether you've been a longtime FileMaker developer or you're just now joining the community, the information in this video will save you a lot of internal solution management headache. You should be storing operational information within global variables. The trick is coming up with a good method.
Using an example of storing the state of all front most clicked tabs, I walk through how I manage my use of global variables in most of my solutions.
