Security Question

[CJS]

I have a rather large form being created now, and I would like a approver
section. Only 2 or 3 people would have access rights to update the approval
section. When the form is submitted I have it change a drop down value to
"submited", write to sharepoint, then hide the submit button, revealing a
"update" button that allows saving of the form.

I would like to hide the section of approval until the approver changes the
status from Submitted to either Approved, Denied, or Pending. I have tried
using Roles for this, but it seems that I can never get the roles to change
depending on which user opens the form.

thanks in advance!

HI CJS

Create a section in the form and put in the controls you want the approved
to use and set the conditional formatting to say

if 'field1' is not equal to 'submitted' hide this section. reengineer your
process so that instead of posting to sharepoint after originator fills it
out is to posts after the authoriser has authorised. It then gets to the
authoriser via email meaning more secure than leaving it open on sharepoint.
You can then prevent anyone from submitting to sharepoint then who isn't one
of your 2 or 3 people giving complete security.

That is how i would do it anyway, hope it helps

Cheers Adam
