Re: Is Global Copy Possible?

You certainly COULD create your own "preprocessor" to do this.

For information on how to create and access such a thing in Server Express 4.0,
see

"Chapter 16: Integrated Preprocessor Interface"

in the "Program Development" manual.

Having said that, I am not really certain that it would be worth it, but it is
POSSIBLE.
