Hi,  
  
if I have User Variables with no default value specified, and the value gets assigned during the build process, will each build be able to use distinct values without collisions?  
  
i.e. If ProjectA Build 1 is running and then ProjectA Build 2 is launched on the same machine, will they each have distinct User Variables?  
  
(hopefully that’s clear)  
  
Thanks!  
Dave

Yes that’s correct. FWIW, I don’t recommend using them, as they make the projects less transportable to other machines.
