Gyrus, Don't put it in a cookie. If you corrupt a user's cookie, they will hate you forever. Every time they come back, the server will see it exists, but it won't be able to get any data out of it. Which really sucks. You really don't want to have to post detailed instructions on how to delete a cookie either.
The database CLIENT/SESSION variables are the best way to do it. However, if you are coding blind, maybe you can just create some temporary XML files, and store them on the server. It's not going to be as responsive as the database, but it shouldn't be too bad. Good luck.

I'm having to replicate another form, which seems quite large (well, 22 smallish parts). Also, there's a system for attaching text reminders to each part, plus info to store on whether each part is completed or not. This is for one form - there'll be at least one more in the near future. How much can cookies handle?! I would plump for a datasource or session/client variables, but you know how it is, I've not been provided with information as to the set-up on the destination site (the bit I'm doing is a small part of a large site), and I'm finding it really difficult to contact any with info!
