Well, to the best of my knowledge this is not doable with JScript. I would suggest pursuing either (a) Using a web service to provide this functionality if it's something like performing calculations, or (b) Looking into using managed code (C# or VB.NET), which will allow you to have multiple code files in your solution, including a common one that's chared between forms. You could even create a compiled DLL with all the constants and functions that you need, and share that between your forms.

Jimmy, thanks for the quick reply but I forgot to mention, in addition to the variables there are also several functions that are used in all the forms, which would also be nice to manage centrally..

I have looked into this in the past, but to the best of my knowledge there isn't a way to do this. Might I suggest putting these values in some centralized location (e.g. a SharePoint list, webservice, or XML file secondary data source - the first two would be better than the third), where you can easily manage and change these values?

Include Statement in Javascript

Hi,

Is there a way to have an include statement like in C (#include <otherscript.c>) in the script of a form template?

The reason for wanting this is that there are global variables defined that are used for several forms and they may require frequent change..
