Was Session Variables in Preload Events ever fixed??...

[WillBellJr]

Hi, I'm currently scripting a new installation and I'm using code from a previous, successful installer.

I see in my comments that I had to create GLOBAL string variables because creating and assigning session variables in a Screen's PRELOAD event wasn't working properly.

I'm wondering do I still need to do this (I'm using Version 7.0.6.1) in my new installer? (I'm not at the point of running this and trying it yet.)

Was this ever addressed in version 8?

Any info appreciated!

Great support IndigoRose.

Certainly makes me feel all warm and fuzzy recommending to my manager to upgrade our v7 to version 8 or MSI factory.

the forums are mostly user-to-user based.
If you look at the sf8 forums, they're very active.

Filing a support case with IR usually gets a response w/in a day.

Yes; the way the screen works is that the screen if "created" 1st, then "preload" is run -- so the session var needs to exist prior to the actual screen being created...

Thanks for your time answering my question.
