Thank you for the replies. It looks like we need to remove the #FDF after our target URL. When we originally created these 3 years ago we thought that we needed #FDF to post our data to the Web Server. It looks like Acrobat 6 is posting the FDF data twice because we added this attribute. Once we remove the #FDF it only submits the data once.
Thanks for your help.

Note that this can happen with version 5.x as well. You can prevent it from
happening by returning an FDF, as opposed to generating and returning HTML.
The FDF can either cause an informative pop-up message to appear, or
can "redirect" to a static or dynamic HTML page. Experience has taught me
that returning an FDF is the best practice for a number of reasons, not just
this one. And don't forget the error handling routines. Set up the CGI (or
JSP, ASP, whatever) to return an appropriate FDF under all conditions.
As far as I can tell, this behavior is due to the way Acrobat and the browser
(MSIE specifically) interact. It does not happen with pre-5 versions.
