Hi all,

I'm sorry if I'm hogging this list.

I think I'm missing something fundamental here and would appreciate your help.

Basically I have a raft of data stored in a blob field. To get this to a Active4D web page I call an existing routine that loads the data into a set of global (4D global that is) arrays.

I then reference a value of the array in the html page as follows: <% aBookingNumber{1} %>. In fact the HTML element containing this is a Form Input field (named something like f_BookingNumber).

On accepting the record I call my Form Handler and this is where I can't see how I write this information back to the record. Basically I want to write the contents of f_BookingNumber back into a global array and then call the existing routine to write the arrays back into the blob field.

So I tried this :       aBookingNumber{1} := num($f_BookingNumber)

However rightly so Active4D complains that it doesn't know what aBookingNumber is. I'm assuming this is because Active4D requires all variables to local variable ($aBookingNumber).

However if I use local arrays I then can't call my 4D method to write them back.

What am I missing here. Do I have to use session variables? If this is the case I'm going to have rather a lot of these.

Any advice?

Thanks, Michael.
