Prepopulate module provides an handy way to populate CCK fields.

Flexifield seems somehow incompatible with prepopulate since query like:
edit[field_my_flexifield][0][value][my_cck_field_into_a_flexifield][0][value]=myvalue

are ineffective. Any idea to implement it on Flexifield CCK fields? I found it very useful to pass node reference nid to a "children" page from its parent, e.g.
edit[field_my_flexifield][0][value][field_mynodereference][0][nid]=12

(list of available queries on 6.x version)

I only found this way to populate flexifields.
On flexifield node (node used by flexifield to generate single fields rows) on Default value > PHP code I put:

if(isset($_GET['edit']['field_mynodereference']['0']['nid']) && is_numeric($_GET['edit']['field_mynodereference']['0']['nid'])) {
return array(
  0 => array('nid' => $_GET['edit']['field_mynodereference']['0']['nid']),
);
}
else return array(
  0 => array('nid' => NULL),
);

And flexifield now display the default value for ['field_mynodereference']['0']['nid'] correctly.

Since this should be done for each field to be prepopulated, the Prepopulate way is cleaner.
