dynamic forms ... progress bar

I have one form with 25 different text box, calenders and selection boxes on
the are all hidden except one showing at a time (its being used for users to
entered data).

I need to put a progress bar, but as the number of input choices changes
dependant on what the user enters, its not as simple as '1 of 25' the other
idea is to put all the 25 catorgories on one side of the form and then
display what the user has entered as they go along. (problem here is that it
means 25 new text boxes !!) any one got any other ideas?
 
This would be very hard as you stated you never know how many textboxes the
user is going to fill. It seems that some users are not allowed to enter data
in some textboxes right? You should have a seperate table in which you
determin which fields should be visible to the user dependent on the entering
of data they are allowed to do.
 
"It seems that some users are not allowed to enter data
in some textboxes right?"
This is correct the point of the form is it has different questions
dependant on the answers they enter as they going along eg if the user
entered a date between 1990 and 1995 then two questions are not asked (and
therefore defaulted to 'n/a')
 
hm, in that case you should be able to use the 1 to 25 option because if the
parameters are set to 'n/a'. If not my guess would still be to generate a
table with restrictions.
