Thanks to those who replied. I had a caffeine deficiency moment when I posted this message and it was completely wrong. The problem was trivial and elsewhere and I jumped too quickly to thinking the global wasn't updating!
Interesting idea on the queue wrapper, but I don't think I'll make much use of it. I tend to create all the queues at initialisation with names that just remind me what they do and then store the references in globals for wherever I want to use them. I've never named a queue anything like any of my .VI names, and I don't think I've ever used the name of a queue anywhere other than at creation of the queue. It's just like a comment to me. Using the native dequeue also means I avoid having to convert a variant back to G data. Different coding styles.
