Problem with IE5.5 and client variables

I have a problem with a fairly significant CF application used by a number of our clients which runs under CF 4.51 and IIS4.0 on NT4.0 Server. Client variables are stored in an Access database file and all works well except when the application is accessed by IE5.5 from a machine other than the server.

Normal behaviour is for authentication and the setting of miscellaneous client variables to occur in a single-frame window before moving to a multi-frame frameset. By looking at the CDATA table in my Access file, I can see that under normal circumstances, this writes a single record which stores client data to be accessed throughout the application, before or after the move to a frameset.

Under IE5.5 running on a machine other than the server, I can see that creating the frameset generates new records within CDATA (one for each frame) and once I move to the frameset, client variables which were set prior to the move are no longer available to templates running within the frames and variables set within one frame are unavailable to templates running in the others.

Can anyone please offer me any enlightenment, or at least point me in the right direction? Any help would be much appreciated.
