Locking down a form

[David]

I've created several InfoPath forms and they all have submit buttons using
email addresses to send the filled out forms too. What I need to do is make
sure once the form is filled out and submitted that it's "locked" in terms of
not being able to change the information in the form by others after the
forms submitter has filled it out. Can this be done??

Thankfs for any help,
David

Hi David,

The best option for this is to use "digital signatures." This way, once
data has been completed the person inserting that data can apply a digital
signature to their "section" to insure it cannot be changed.
