I was also thinking this (passing the dataset) is the cleanest way, I hadn't tried it yet as I was uncertain how Delphi handles passing the TClientDataSet object behind the scenes eg as a parameter to a procedure in form2....as the dataset can be quite large. I assume it passes a reference to the dataset not the entire data...however as a relative newbie to datasets I know assumptions can bite back....(for instance I read up quite a lot on how strings are handled in Delphi before I got too heavily into using them)
Can someone kindly confirm the cleanest (=efficient and tidy) way to pass the dataset to a procedure in another form if not as a parameter to the procedure in the other unit. Any in-depth references to how Delphi handles these operations and best practices appreciated too - thanks.
