[FX.php List] Globals and FileMaker 7

[Michael Layne]

The only way I can successfully edit globals and have my changes show 
up is to open the database locally with FMP, change the globals, and 
reopen the files in Server.  I wish this was different!

It seems modifying the globals as a client (whether you're remote using 
FMP or XML (FX)), changes will never display via FX until they're made 
locally and closed/opened again.

I'm looking for the same help.
