InfoPath Dev

I was wondering, how do I publish a form template so that when users go in to fill out the form (I guess they just click where i published it to) they are unable to change the form lay out. I guess im trying to ask how do you set a form template to be complete and unable to be changed.

Hello:

For InfoPath 2007, go to Tools/Form Options/Advanced and select Enable Protection. That will disable the form customization commands on the tools menu. In IP2003 I think this is under Tools/Form Options/General.

If i try to open the form it says it wont open since i have a dataconnection in it and i dont have domain permissions now..

I'm sorry, I'm confused. Do you mean this happened after you enabled protection? or do you mean you can't open it after publishing?

I enabled protection. Then republished the form. and then i got the error when i would try to open the form.

But prior to enabling protection, you did not get that error when you opened your published form? Enabling design protection shouldn't have caused a data connection error....

I did not get the error before. But i think i have fixed the problem . Thanks!
