Send as e-mail

[khe]

I have an InfoPath form on our intranet. When the user has filled out the
form it is sent as an e-mail toa member of our quality department.
When this person however opens the form via his e-mail account, it is
possible for him to change the received data in the form.
How do I prevent the e-mail receiver from having the opportunity to change
the received data?

Before the form is sent, set a node which identifies that data should not be modified. Then when the form is opened again, check that node value. If set, change to a read-only view.

Hi Greg

Can you specify how to perform the suggested solution.
If possible I would like to avoid that the (e-mail)receiver of the form has
to do anything but collect data from the forwarded form.
Regrads,

If you are using rules to submit... add a statement to set some field value to identify that the view needs to change. If working from code, just set the field value from there.

In the open rules or OnLoad handler, check the field value and switch views if needed.

I am using a control button to send the form as an e-mail.
In the properties for this button I simply can't find where to state that
the form has to be sent (or aftwards) opened in a different read-only view.
Have I misunterstood your response?
