carrying a global variable from stack to sub stack

[Admin]

Thank you. 

The only place I did not have it was in my stack's
script with the openstack handler. 

Duh!

numtochar(39) into SQ I then proceed to login to the database (works
fine normally) and then access whatever data I need. I just created a
substack called CV with three pages - pgCV1, pgCV2 and pgCV3 I need the
login credentials of the user to carry over so the fields on these pages
can be populated with the existing data on the database. The important
variable is dbID and curUserID What do I need to do, other than the
global command, to make this happen? Mike
