Hello All,

Thank you for all the wonderful ideas, there are so many things that can be 
over look when working by yourself.

When I asked help for a questionary, in reallity I meant a long form. With 
that said I apologize for having some people in mind more like a question 
answer type of thing(school test and similar).

So, after reviewing this project I have come out with the final descicion...

In order to fill out a form the user must have an UN and PASS, so that I can 
write their answers to the DB as they are filling out the form, reason for 
this is in case they have to stop in the middle of the form they can come 
back on a later time to finish with their UN and PASS, they should be able 
to continue their form or to start all over.

I decided to divide the forms into 5 different sections, and as some one 
suggested divide the sections by groups so people can fill out the form and 
concentrate in the section they are working on.

Similar to when you have to fill out your taxes online: 
https://taxes.hrblock.com/hrblock/login/LoginRegistration.aspx

the difference is that this has been done with ASP (ewww! :) )

Thank you everyone for your input. Any more suggestions are welcome
