GN, My general rule of thumb for links vs. buttons is this: links take you places, buttons perform an action. However, in form submission or a wizard-like submission process (especially in applications), I've found that users expect to see buttons to continue, cancel, edit or go back in the process.
In the situation you describe, I think the expected convention would be a link back to the page they started on. Instead of just saying "Back", however, you might want to try a more descriptive link -- something like "Return to Previous Page" or "Return to [Page Name]". Hope that helps, Kevin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
