Creating a large checklist ?

J

I'm trying to create a large checklist with checkboxes to show that each task
has been completed . . but I'm struggling to find the best way. I've used a
repeating table and keyed each task in at the form stage . . but this leaves
the list open to editing by users.

I've tried creating a table in the design stage by cutting and pasting but
this gives the warning that "control stores duplicate data" and it seems very
tiresome having to change the binding on each entry. I appreciate I do not
fully understand the concept.

I think what I'm trying to do must be very simple with only 4 columns . .
here is an example :

Description of task ........ Checkbox .......Time completed ....... User

I would still opt for using a repeating table.

Can users still edit the repeating table even when you uncheck "Allow users
to insert and delete rows" in the properties of the repeating table, make
fields in the repeating table "Read-only" where necessary, fill the repeating
table by setting "Default Values" (Tools > Default Values), and checking
"Enable protection" in Tools > Form Options > General tab?

Of course user's could still edit the form's XML if the form were saved, but
that's inherent to InfoPath. I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do...
