Hello,

Would it be better to write directly to FBUserVariables.ini directly?

Thanks,  
John

Hi John,   
  
 I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to achieve, are you using the Define Variable action to define a user variable? Is there a reason why you can use the standard way of defining variables (at design time)? If you’re using the action to define the variable if it does not already exist for the user then perhaps a project variable would be better?   
  
 Regards,   
 Paul.
