Locking a table

Hi,
I have LiveCycle 8.2 and created a form with a table that calculates the values within the cells and gives a grand total.
The first user will imput this data, save the pdf and send to a second user where they check the amounts and if they agree to the costs then enter their name and cost center number for internal billing and then send back the xml data file via email.
My problem is that this second user, if they so wish, could amend the amount.

Is there anyway the first user could protect the table after they imput their figures before sending to the second user so they cannot alter the figures?

Am I asking too much?

Kind regards Mark

You have to indicate which fields to lock upon signing the form .

You can create a button for the first users to protect the form before they mail them back.

// Step1. Protect all form fields
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(i, "field");
var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++)
{
oFields.item(nNodeCount).access = "protected";
}
// Step 2. Reopen the fields Name and CostCenter for the second users
Name.access = "open";
CostCenter.access = "open";
