validation controls...useless when form has multiple buttons?

[D]

Most of my web forms have multiple buttons (Proceed, Back, link buttons for
various screens, etc.)

It looks like, say a required field validator for example, gives me an error
message no matter which button is pushed. Well, the user simply wants to
navigate to a different screen without filling out the form.

So is there a way to tie validation controls to specific buttons?

Turn off the CausesValidation =false for the buttons which u don want the
validation to occur.
