In version 4.0 I was able to see the dict("fieldname") objects from within a user-defined function. Now I can not. Are the dict objects no longer global in scope? Please advise. THanks.

Jim,
dict object is available in the BeforeRegister, Before record added and Before record updated events only in both 4.0 and 4.1 ASPRunner versions.

Dict object could really be of use in 'after udate' as 'after udate' might be a confirmation that the update was OK? - Or not? It could be the best place to update other tables with data from the original tables?

I often find that I have to use session objects as the dict() object is often not available where I expect it to work to define links to other tables, but I'm not sure how/when to kill these session objects when used from 'EventOnLoad' to be used in 'Before Record Update' or 'After Udate'. If I let these session variables build up, will they not kill the app?
