Bill, I appreciate you effort, but the issue was never to "force" anyone
to hit the back button. It was to prevent data fubar not if, but WHEN
they hit the back button.

As for "providing the cumulative information" if the initial
questionnaire required that as few as 4 fields appear on a single page,
do you think that displaying cumulative responses will actually help
things overall?

I design like I ride my Harley. If I led a driver do something stupid,
and I'm not prepared, I'm the one who pays.
