2 Urgent (challenging) Questions? saving mulitpage data & generating own srvkey

Hi

Question 1:
Is it possible to record all the answers that a respondent answered even if
he/she quits in the middle?  I know that you can use a database as a backend,
but this is the resource that I have access to. Like, what I want is to be able
to get partially filled out answers.  So for long mulipage surveys, you can
still get some data out of the partially filled survey.

(Scenario) 
You have 100 survey pages, users quits on the 99th page.  You won't get the
data.  So, is it possible that I can still get the partial data everytime the
respondant clicks on submit button from survey page 1 to 99? possibly through
perl snippet codes if necessary. 


Question 2:
Is it possible that I create my own survey key (srvkey) and use that as the user
id.  For instance, being able to do something with the url:
http://someaddress.com/thesurvey.survey?action=display&uid=1
http://someaddress.com/thesurvey.survey?action=display&uid=2
...
http://someaddress.com/thesurvey.survey?action=display&uid=somelargefinitenumber


where I'll keep track of:
uid=1 is Person A
uid=2 is Person B
uid=3 is Person C

So, that we'll know which respondant has answered the survey and not.

And when retriving the data in text format, I can have something like:
srvkey q1      q2
1      dataq1  dataq2

Instead of the server generating the timestamp as the unique srvkey.  And if the
same key is used, we'll not permit them to submit his answers again. 


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Louis
