Qs about protecting submitted data on a form   

When i turn on "Fill in" protection for a form ( W2007 ) and a user fills in 
the form and saves it, whoever opens the saved form is still able to modify 
the data ( delete or change them ). Is this by design ? Is there a way to 
"lock" the submitted data ? ( even saving the form w/ "no changes -read 
only" protection doesn't protect the data ?? )

Hi Hubert,

This is by design. However, you could add a macro to the document so that it can only be updated whilst one or more formfields 
remain incomplete.
