Hi Anthony, Thanks again for this. I had dozens of vars that were needlessly declared as session vars.
I was wondering how to make global vars declared in a model accessible from a compiled module (that is placed in the modules folder and imported when needed by models and controllers)? e.g. from your example above, how could a compiled module access the DECPLACES global variable?
