I am wondering if EWB can pass data between different forms that would be unique to each session.  Such data as captions from labels,  contents of vars, or EDB table results as an example just as you would do in native Delphi. If so, is there a specific place for session vars or limitations? I don't have any version yet and am waiting for the trial, or may consider the beta option if still available.

John,

I don't know if this helps, or even if I've understood you correctly, however my EWB apps all share data between forms via a number of techniques including global classes (defined in unit initialisation sections) and public form level properties. This is achieved precisely as you would in Delphi. From a session perspective, all of this data is client-side and is therefore unique. If you can give a little more information then I might be able to see how closely your requirement resembles my apps.

Hi Mark,

For most parts,  I am wanting to query client information such as user name and password used for log in purposes and report queries, retrieve bits of information from a customer file that may be specific for clients such as discount levels or other pricing information, depending on location, as well be able to look-up data from a grid for other route processing and reporting, which would have to go to my Fast Reports to generate PDFs.

John,
I think that you will have no issues with this whatsoever.
It's kinda what I do. Very Delphi-like.
