Restricting read access to a page in a form

[Vaughan]

What would be the best way of making a particular page in a form accessible
only to users with certain rights. The folder sharing permissions can
restrict what individuals can do with whole items, but I have a form based on
IPM.Post with a couple of pages that I want to be widely available, and a
page of financial data that I need to restrict.

I thought of the compose/read dichotomy, but that doesn't do what I want,
since the people reading the financial page will still have to be reading the
post.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I'll recommend two approaches:

1) Strip the sensitive data off the pages and store them in another custom
form published in a folder library where only the necessary users have
permissions to read the items in that folder. You can add a button to your
form to launch it, and if the user doesn't have rights they will be notified.

2) Store access rights in a database or hard-code it in the form, and
determine access level when the form is launched and hide/show pages as
appropriate. You might also have to password protect the form design.
