    protect a submitted form from being deleted by end users?

    sounds simple, but im a newbie.  I have a form in a library, and when the end user hits submit it is saved in another library called the "archive".  the form is a simple daily checklist that goes no further.  it is intended to be a record of a daily check.  I want anyone to be able to view the archive, but the way it is setup, anyone can delete it as well.  I tried to set permissions, but none seem to fit.  I have the form set up with a formula that produces a unique filename and the same filename cannot be used more than once.  so at least they cant go back and change their form.  but they can delete it.  is there anyway when i design the form to protect it after it is submitted?  i think this is a dumb question and probably has nothing to do with infopath, but i cant figure it out!

     

    thanks

    Hi:

    This will have to do with the permissions on your 'archive' library. What version of SharePoint are you using? For WSS 3.0, under the settings for the form library, you can go to the Permissions for this form library link and under Actions select Edit Permissions, which will break permissions inheritance from the site. Select the top checkbox (the one that selects all the groups) then, under the Actions menu, select Edit User Permissions. This will take you to a new page, where you can set all those groups to have 'read only' permissions on your 'archive' library.
