If you have a specific application that needs to have a default value, I would put it in the open script. If it needs to be a variable read it from a table. This is how you should also set user and system preferences

I would like to know how to set up a scheduled &nbsp;script which will set a global field on FM11 Server so that the same value will appear on the clients computor.<br />
The value of the field will need to be changed from time to time ,<br />
I can do the change to the value on FM Pro 11 which is resident on the server but I would prefer to set it from the Client if this is possible.<br />
Many Thanks<br />

FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application that integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but since 1992 has been available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.
