Scott,

I don't see to many problems here.

the session object is non visual, but why should you use it? Use a Dataenvironment (class) instead. Just instantiate the right DE for the container. If you need to invoke the events/methods from the native DE you may use eventbinding.(I never use native DE because all my forms are classes (no scx) and will be instantiated via CREATEOBJECT, and form classes have no DE on the designer.)

BINDCONTROLS may be a help too.
The DE might be an property of the Container, so just instantiate the container, get the DE class from the prop and instantiate the DE, and SET .T. TO BINDCONTROLS .

The decision on what containers will be included is made at run-time as the user security will determine this.
