To keep them unique to each form, you want to use custom form properties instead of variables. With your form open in the Form Designer, choose "New Property" from the Form menu. Create properties called "Adding" and "Editing". Then in the appropriate methods, reference THISFORM.Adding and THISFORM.Editing. As for dealing with tables opening and closing--in the long run your best bet is to abandon the form DataEnvironment. Instead, create your own nonvisual data classes. You can opt to instantiate these globally when the application starts, or you can hang them onto the forms.
