Hello Gene,
Depends on what you put in them.
In theory the use of global vars is only limited by system memory.
You should really consider using V12. It's a great tool in managing large
projects plus it gives you the advantage that you can change your content
very fast.
We use it all the time - e.g. for projects that need to be converted to
other languages.
Learning V12 ain't that hard - the code looks a bit like SQL and other DB
acces prog. langs.
Plus there's enough sample material on the website that can be easily used
to make your project work.

Subject: <lingo-l> How many global variables are too many
Hello List,
I'm creating a simulated version of a software package for use in a CBT.
There are many MIAWs and much information shared between movies as global
variables. I estimate that by the time I'm through with project, there may
be over one hundred global variables, some of which will be saved to disk.
I will also be copying a Cast to user's hard drive to save selections and
other field members. My question is, is 100 (or so) global variables too
many? Should I consider another approach, such as saving information in a
database or field members off-stage? I have the V-12 DBE Xtra, but I'm not
sure my schedule will allow the time necessary for the learning curve.
Please consider sharing your thoughts and opinions on the best way to handle
this situation.
Thanx in advance,
g fritzinger
