Hi Brad,

What I have used in the past is a redirect page - when
the user hits submit the redirect page shows up for 2
or 3 seconds with something like:

Loading Query A .... please wait 
This will take approximately 10 seconds.

This will solve the problem with users hitting the
back button as if they do it will just redirect them
forward again. (if they hit it twice it will go back
to the form).

The redirect code is:
<Meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
Content="2;URL=http://<@CGIPARAM
SERVER_NAME><@APPFILE>&<@UserReferenceArgument>">
