Larry, I doubt that the "Global field" idea is where the hang up is. I would guess that it is more likely a 'Date' only or 'Time' only, or some other data type before it is a field ID range that is an issue.
But in fairness... "some pretty bizarre behavior" is hard to understand too. Can you be any more specific? Since you said v4 api... I am guessing C API? ( Maybe ARS Perl?) You also said.. "workflow in question is in a filter" ... uh.. you mean a run process called from a filter? -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
