In the when-new-form-instance trigger, put:   :Global.mfirstquery := 'FALSE';

But you could use a parameter in the form, since your global isn't being used in form-to-form communications. Parameters are easier because they can be set up at design time, and don't need to be erased when you leave a form.

To use a parameter, create it in the object navigator, set its default value to FALSE. Anywhere you need to use it, call it :Parameter.mfirstquery.

Note that both globals and parameters cannot be boolean. You have to use text string values.
