    Fact. Can be done in the following way:

    Dim MyVariable As Integer = 5 (Can be done with other datatypes such as "String")

    Globals.SetObject("DesiredGlobalVariableNameHere", MyVariable)

    Globals.GetObject("DesiredGlobalVariableNameHere")

    Tim is correct, but you must enable the global functions under properties

      This setting allows you to reference the business rule in a member formula. The globals object is always enabled.
