Hi,
I have a form, which I send by email to some recipients.
What I want is, the form to be non editable. Since the form shall only be for information purpose.
So it would be neat if I could protect the form from being filled out, just before I send it to my recipients.
Would be great if this all would work throughout one simple buttonclick.
Would be perfect if this procedure has to be confirmed (either per pop-up-"confirm"-button, or even better: you have to enter "protect" into a textfield to apply form-protection)

is this possible?

thanks

Hi,

this should be doable. Add dropdown list to your form, keeping all the actions you want to have for the form (e.g. protect)

Now for all other fields you can work with "conditional fromating".
You just need to ask "If dropdownlist value" - "is equal to" -"protect" >>> disable this control. Like this you can make all controls of your form read only after selecting protect from the dropdown list.

Hope this helps

nice idea :)
worked perfectly

thanks a lot
