I'm trying to create a timed event that uses a GV in the boolean field.

If I put {MYGLOBAL} in as the boolean of the ph_createtimedevent1 formula, {MYBLOBAL} gets evaluated and in the Timed Event listing the boolean field contains the value of {MYGLOBAL} rather than the string {MYGLOBAL}.

Any ideas on a work around?

Try putting the Global variable name in quotes. The following example creates a Timed Event that fires 1 minute after being created. If GBOOLEAN1 is set to 1 the Macro is executed 1 minute later. If GBOOLEAN1 is set to 0 the Macro is not executed. If the quotes do not work post the actual ph_createtimedevent1 statement.

ph_createtimedevent1("NowPlus1",1,0,0,1,1,DATETIME(TODAY(),N OW()),0,"MMESSAGE1","{GBOOLEAN1}")

I may not have understood your original question. If you are looking for a method to have the Global variable evaluated at the time the Timed Event fires rather than when the Timed Event is created use the following...

ph_createtimedevent1("NowPlus1",1,0,0,1,1,DATETIME(TODAY(),N OW()),0,"MMESSAGE1","ph_getglobal_s('GBOOLEAN1')")

Heh, I think he's looking for something like this:

ph_createtimedevent1("NowPlus1",1,0,0,1,1,DATETIME(TODAY(),N OW()),0,"MMESSAGE1","{" + "GBOOLEAN1" + "}")

This should actually insert the global variable into the boolean field without evaluating it.

Dave.

Dave,

That's it, exactly. Thanks.
