If you did a redirect after receiving the posted form, the user will  
be redirected to the form page, it will not re-submit the data.

thanx for the reply

its not that way

let me explain u…

if the user submits the form (submitted data stored into db) and moves  
to next form ,now the user press back button and again press the  
submit button.???.now the data is stored 2 times in DB…

im planning to handle in such a way that,all the form data to store in  
objects, at the end of all forms the data should be written into DB
