Thanks in advance.
The form that I have created, some sections are completed by one person. Then that person saves it and forwards on to another person. I do not want the second person to change what the first person wrote or allow to enter anything in those fields. How can I do this?

You'll need to setup the form with scripts that manage the routing process. For example, you could have a buttons for sending off the form in an email, named Route1, Route2, etc. Each button would run a script for setting all the fields in that section to ReadOnly and emailing the form.
Something like this:
Section1.Name.access = "readOnly";Section1.Address.access = "readOnly";...

event.target.mailDoc("<span class="spamspan"><span class="u">nextPerson</span> [at] <span class="d">thecompany [dot] com</span></span>");
