What I am attempting to do is re-use a TPQConnection with each form.  I'm 
thinking that it is best to have only one connection open to the database 
engine (postgres).  I placed the TPQConnection  in a datamodule.  Below is 
some code from my login form:
procedure TForm3.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
   data3.DataModule1.PQConnection1.UserName:=self.Edit1.Text;
   data3.DataModule1.PQConnection1.password:=self.edit2.text;
   data3.DataModule1.PQConnection1.HostName:=self.Edit3.text;
   data3.DataModule1.PQConnection1.databasename:='Real-Accounting';
   try
    data3.DataModule1.PQConnection1.Open;
    
    self.Close;
   except
     showmessage('Sorry could not connect to the database');
     self.close;
    end;

end;    
This makes a connection.  At least I think so!  I also set the 
keepconnection:=true.  So I think the connection is open.

Now in another form (unit2.pas) I added a TSQLTransaction and TSQLQuery. I 
want to set the properties of DB objects dynamically.   So I then attempt the 
following:
procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  self.SQLTransaction1.DataBase:= data3.DataModule1.PQConnection1;
  try
    self.DataSource1.DataSet := SQLQuery1;
    SQLQuery1.SQL.Text := 'Select * from arcust';
    SQLQuery1.Open;

  finally
   
    SQLQuery1.Close;
  end;
end;

But the 'SQLQuery1.Open' fails.  
Error: database not assigned.

What am I doing wrong?
