Well I agree that it is a headache!!

And I am yet to test it with IE5.5, but the thing is as I explained it
is a combination of CF 5.0 & IE6.

For example:

CF 5.0 & IE6.0 - Doesn't work...
CF 4.5 & IE6.0 - It works

But I am also finding other things that don't work under IE6.0 & cf4.5
as well.

Thanks

It is a browser specific feature and not CF related.  Some browsers will
"repopulate" the form with the data that was just entered if you were to
go
back using the back button.  It is a feature of the browser and has
nothing
to do with CF.  We test all of our stuff in all browsers on macs and pcs
and
it even differs between os's.  IE5 on a PC will do it while IE5 on a mac
wont.  In other words, there is no work around, and even if there was
one,
would you really want to spend the time trying to figure it out?  If you
need to catch exceptions before they submit, use some javascript to
catch
them.  Or, you can use a bounce page to check for exceptions and if an
error
occurs, pass it back the original page with the variables that were
passed
to it via a url.  Hope this saves you further headaches.
