Global Temps in QTP

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

Not to mention that Derek's method involves evaluating the item only ONCE
per run whereas Harvey's method evaluates it for EVERY record in the subfile
*xyz. If there is more than a single record in the subfile then this is not
a particularly smart technique.

I know it's not a popular notion in this Microsoft era but I still contend
that a cpu cycle is a terrible thing to waste.
