Just create a table and name and type your fields like the variables they are to hold.

Then when you want to store the vars its's:

Update MyVarTable set UserName = lcUserName
or...
Select MyVarTable
Replace UserName with lcUserName


Or you could use an .INI file

or you could use Save To and Restore From a .MEM file
