Passing a Global variable from Support Client to Sales Client Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Is there a way to pass a Global variable from 5.2 Support client to 6.2.6 Sales Client? I have the global set in the Support client but don't get any value in the Sales client. I have tried Application.BasicFunctions.GlobalInfoFor and I tried GlobalInfoFor on the form in the Sales client but not having any luck getting the Global value. Any ideas?

They're two different applications altogether, the best you can really do is work around it - add the value to the clipboard/a temporary file/a registry entry/etc. in the support client then retrieve that value from that location from the sales client.

A - You are mixing versions here and you cannot do that.. total disaster..and absoluitely not supported in any way under any condition.

B - IF there were both 6.2.6 than like was already posted.. two totally different apps.. save the info in the database.

This can be done. I am able to pass the global between the versions with no problems. The code I used to get it working is:

On the Support Client side: CurrentAccountId = getpropertyof ("txtAccountid","text")
GlobalInfoSet "gCurrentAccountId", CurrentAccountId
This sets the AccountId as the global variable that I am passing.

In the 6.2.6 Sales Client this is the code I use to get the global variable:
Dim gCurrentAccountId
gCurrentAccountId = Application.BasicFunctions.GlobalInfoFor("gCurrentAccountId")
strAccountId = application.BasicFunctions.GlobalInfoFor("gParentAccountId")

This isn't showing all the variables declared, but it is the core code that will allow the variable to be passed from one application to the other.
