I would not even worry about a autonumber. I am sure your users have to login or something, basically having a username. Just take the username as your PK as it has to be unique right? There is no real reason to use a Integer field in your temp table. If there are FK's just relate them to the username which you always know in your application.

Actually there's not going to be a login, this application will be available to anons who maybe interested in the service, then they will go about filling the forms.
Submitting the 1st form is not a problem, a autonumber is be generated and I need to know it so the 2nd and all the others can relate to it. Either that, or I store all info in cookies and at the end submit the whole thing.
4KB cookie limit is enough for my data, however I still don't know if this limit applies to the whole cookie, or to the size of the individual key's data.

The 4kb thing is for the whole cookie, but you could have a cookie for each page.

But if you do that your going to have a problem if someone has cookies disabled and does not know how to enable them.
You could write instructions though I suppose

Last 2 posts relate well to my current stage.
Been testing the forms and hitting them quite hard, all fileds with full capacity, and after page 4 cookie size was exasted, so I decided to add a cookie per page, all works fine now.
Then I went to issue of users with cookies disabled, so I set a cookie, then read from it and act accordingly, problem is, that I disable cookies in my browser, and it still sets/reads it, tried many other things, delete all cookies, manually delete all cookies ;), change cookie name so it starts afresh, still the browser sets/reads normally, whats is going on?
Could it be that I using localhost and not a domain?
Also what would be the best way to test for cookies?
