Thanks for the reply. I tried this but can still edit the emailed form though if I forward it. Here's what I did:

Created a new view and copy/pasted my form and then set it as read only in the view properties.

Replaced the submit button on the main form with a "next" button that swtiches to the read only view and I left the submit there.

Hopefully I missed something...thanks again.

You can create a readonly view which is similar to active view and send readonly view in email.

Hello, I have a InfoPath 2007 form and I'm using the option to send the active view w/ no attachment.

I need to make the email read only, but some users can edit the email if they forward it. I found they're using Outlook 2003 and have the 'use Word as your email editor' set.

Can any one tell me how to make the email truly read only? Thanks for your help.
