We have an internally developed application that uses forms to collect data
from the customer. This information consists of sensitive information we
don't want stored if the end-user (browser) has AutoComplete for Forms turned
on in the browser.

Isn't there a way to disable this functionality (short of modifing the
end-user computer) - Perhaps a way to modify the application from a
developement or server setting.

The application is on its way out the door, (in about a year or two, but
mgmt wants this changed now if possible...).

Client behaviors are under client control, and should be - the
sandbox and all. This needs to be addressed by those that run
the OS deployment in your organization.

Actually a search on google over the weekend, found what I was looking for.
A Tag used on Form Controls allows the application to override what the
browser will do...

<FORM AUTOCOMPLETE="off">
....
</FORM>
