passing variables

hi,

When my user logs on they suppy a username thats checked off a db to allow access. This username is the unique identifier for all queries that are run throughout the access. What is the best way to pass this between pages. I will have a number of clients accessing at the same time. The variable is a six character alphanumeric.

any ideas will be accepted gratefully....oh security is a key issue as i dont want users getting access to eachothers identifier.

Declare sourcepage, then use it!

Ex: Dim sourcepage As PreviousPage

In this case PreviousPage is the first page reference name!

That could solve your problem!
