Hi Angela,
Is your app asp.net? if so you could use the Session object to store
per client information.
If not, then you can do what you are doing now, but maybe put all
information of a single client into a single entry in the
arraylist/hashtable.
So you only need to the lookup once.
Thus instead of having three hashtables storing Data1, Data2, Data3 in
them respectively, create a DataClass which stores Data1, Data2 and
Data3. Then store this item DataClass into just one hashtable.
