I didn't write the delphi forms, but the programmer that did is quite
sharp... but I know he'll ask how he passes a var from delphi to cf... ??

Usually, the answer would be to write an ActiveX executable to do this for
you, and have that executable downloaded from your server via an OBJECT
reference in your HTML page.
However, it would probably be even easier to simply add some code to your
Delphi forms, and have them send the ID back on each page request.
