i'm new to this form thing. see i'm trying to make my co. use this exciting feature. i sent out the form to my bosses for a weekly updates on design jobs i need them to fill up or correct them if needed. i then distribute it but when they changes their copies on the first row, it'll replace the data that i've listed earlier it somehow replaces what i've my data. can i just import the data which has changes? i'm sorry if i seems a little confusing. i'm trying my best to explain it. and also is there ways that i can take away the arrows on the drop down list, it's hard to view the text especially when you minimize the document. any suggestions will be appreciated..
Have you tried investigating the Compile Returned forms capability? This allows you to double click your returned data set into a PDF Package. From the PDF Package you can export data from multiple forms into a single Microsoft Excel worksheet. Check out Ted Padova's article at:

Also, you can make certain form fields read only when you send them out to avoid overriding the data.
Finally, you might want to investigate the List Box form field to eliminate the drop down arrow.
Hope this helps,
