InfoPath 2007: Making the entire form read only except one section

[mikeycp1]

I saw that there is now the option in 2007 to make the entire form read
only which is a real nice feature. I don't think this helps with what
I am trying to accomplish. I need the entire form to be read only
except one section. With the new option either its the whole thing or
none. I can't figure out how to get it to do read only except this
section. I selected read only for the whole form then set a field as
read only but it doesn't negate the form level setting(it was a long
shot). Do I no longer have the ability to make sections read only in
2007? If I could, then I'd put everything else in a section and make
it read only. I'd really like to avoid making each single control read
only as it's a fairly complicated form. Any suggestions as to how I so
should go about this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Mike
