Possible to have "global" variable for book files?
I'm working in FM9, I am wondering if there is any way to have a variable that spans all the .fm files within a book file?
thanks

Gary,
With FM9 you have the option to exclude selected files from standard book operations, like printing or saving as XML. Using this, I recommend the following to handle global features like variable values, condition settings and maybe other stuff:
* Add a new document "GlobalStuff.fm" to your book, at the very end.
* Use this document to easily set variables etc., delete all other information you don’t want to be global (maybe even all paragraph and character catalogs).
* Right-click this document in the book and select "Exclude".
Whenever you need to update some global data, you would do it in this file before importing the changed properties into all other files of the book.

Global variables for circular buffer
Hallo!
I have another question:
I need to have a variable circular buffer size. So I would like to define the circular buffer size by a global varable.
Is that possible? I tried to use the global variable like {VAR_01} to insert in the desired field for circular buffer size, but dasylab only puts a zero in the field.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Hilby
Solved!
Go to Solution.Unfortunately it is not possible to have a variable-sized buffer. Right-click into the corresponding textfield: the context menu does not show an entry to choose the global variable from a list.

How do I set global variables for use by ALL form1.#subform[0] items?
Hi All,
I know how to code javascript but am new to Adobe LiveCycle. When I open script editor, I have the following code (all code is in un-bolded):

...and so on and so forth....
In short, I want the code within:
----- form1.#subform[0].Item1Cost::calculate: - (JavaScript, client) -------------------------------
...to be able to access the variables I have created in:
----- form1.#subform[0]::initialize: - (FormCalc, client) ------------------------------------------
(I have assumed that this is where I would store Global variables)
At this stage, the global variables cannot be accessed with the configuration above. The only was I can get this to work is to cut and paste the global vairables into each form1.#subform[0] item, which of course defeats the purpose of global variables! I plan to have many more items so would not want to duplicate the global variables for all of them!
Can somebody show me how to do this?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks
Stanbridge
Message was edited by: stanbridgej - colors and or fonts won't save. Have bolded my question to make code (non-bolded) easier to read (I hope).Hi MorisTM,
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, I saw that option (I should have mentioned I already knew about it), but was wondering if there is a way I can do this via code.
There are two reason I want to be able to do it via code (only one of which may be valid):
1) I can automatically generate my pricing code form another inhouse app.
2) I am hoping that later on once I get this working I will be able take it a step further and get the data directly from a MySQL database!
Cheers though!
Any other suggestions?
Regards,

the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance? I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop. any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!
I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
The solution that worked for me:
Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
Click the security tab
Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
Click apply
Open iTunes
This worked for me. -
I can't reopen my iTunes after I have to force quit when it does not respond. I get this message:
"The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
I've read to do the solutions. I right clicked on both the iTunes and Music folder and went to info for each. On both the lock at the bottom of the Get Info was locked. All of my users including admin can read and write all files within those folders. They are even a shared folder. I clicked on the lock to unlock it, typed in my admin password, and went to the gear to apply to all files inside. After doing that I keep getting the saved message.
I tried another way that I've found online to move my ituneslibrary folder to the desktop and then open my iTunes. In theory the iTunes is supposed to ask for where the iTunes library is. Once that is prompted you quit iTunes and drag the iTunes Library folder back to the folder from the desktop and reopen iTunes to apprently solve the problem. However, when I move the iTunes Library file to the desktop and try to reopne iTunes the icon just keeps bouncing and when I right click the application does not respond.
This problem is only resolved if I restart/shut down my macbook pro which is a 15-inch Core 2 Duo with intel. It will be 5 years old in December. I currently have Lion and the latest iTunes 10.5. This problem started in late December.If you hold down the option key when starting iTunes, it will allow you to select a library or create a new one.
You can create a new one, and then add all of your iTunes music back in by simply dragging the old iTunes music file onto iTunes.

iTunes won't open.
I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.This may indicate a corrupt preference file with iTunes trying to open the wrong location. Try holding down shift as you launch iTunes then choose the correct file, normally <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. See iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!
this may happen on external drives if:
The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for external drive
Close iTunes
Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
Mount drive again
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for internal hard drive
Close iTunes
Reboot system
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
Reboot system, restart iTunes
If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

I have just opened ITunes on my Mac and the following error occurred "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". When I setup my Mac I created a shared user area to contain my ITunes library so that I could share it with another user logged onto my Mac. However the error above gives me the impression that the library file is locked... I've checked and it does not seem to be locked under the "get info" fie information. Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?
You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914 -
I just finished using iTunes, closed out and then tried to get ack in. Got this message "The iTunes library .9tl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." How can I get back ino iTunes ?
I actually figured it out...I had to go to the iTunes Library Extras.itdb file and give myself permission to have full control. THEN, I could go and estore a previos version. Once I had done this, I got the same message for iTunes Library Genius.itdb . . . I did the same thing with it and Voila'!!
Hope this helps...

Hi there, can anyone please help? Download itunes and it says The Itunes library .itl file is locked, or on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.
Holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening. That will bring up the 'choose iTunes library' dialog. Select 'Choose LIbrary' from the choices and navigate to your music folder and iTunes music folder.
Or refer to this article:
iTunes for Windows XP: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back up on an external hard drive when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"
To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!
