Hi Richard, Sorry to have not responded for so long, and thanks for your views. It turns out the problem is browser based, at least in part. A windows PC with IE6 in our office could not get the site working right, whereas a linux laptop with firefox was fine with it. The immediate need is

Is this only happening when the user clicks the "back" button in the browser? I recently had a similar problem with IE caching pages even when the header is set to (supposedly) prevent caching. Apparently there is a bug with IE which requires a specific workaround. The fields are pre-filled with

Scott, I suspect you will gets lot's of input on this one. There is a fairly glaring hack that allows users to override your session variables (if you rely on the feature of PHP that automatically adds session variables, as well as get and post variables, to the global pool [register_globals, I t
