    How to undo a signature in infopath

     I would like someone to be able to edit a form after they sign it and have it invalidate their signature and make them resign every time they edit. Is this possible in Infopath?

    You could add a rule to each field that sets the signature field blank. For InfoPath 2010 go to the Properties tab and select Add Rule. A window will open, at the top it says "If", at the bottom is a choice for "This Field Changes". Hover over that and an Action window will appear. Select "Set a Field's Value" and a Rule Detail window will open. Select the signature field then enter "" into Value. The double quotes means blank. Do this on each field that you want to affect the signature field.

     That sounds like it will work, but the signature locks the fields, so you can't even make a change to any fields to bring your idea into play. Otherwise, it looks like it would work. Seems like I can't edit the fields, nor even remove the signature.

    So you have a rule on the other fields that if the signature field is not empty they can't be changed? If that is the case add a button (name it Edit Form or something like that) set the action of the button to clear the signature. That will solve the signature issue and unlock the other cells for editing.

    It's the natural default setting that all controls in a section that is signed become locked. There is a setting on each of the section's properties under digital signatures that says "when signed make controls read only". It is blue which doesn'tean checked or unchecked. I uncheck it and hit ok. Then I come back, and it ignored it. It is blue again

    While it can check if a signature field is blank or not in the conditional of the rule, in the actions portion, a new action can only set a field's value. That's ok, but when I choose the signature field, it tells me I can't choose a group, only a field, and I am not clicking on the group, I am choosing a signature field within the group, but it won't let me do that.
