I created a form with some help from the forum and everything is working great but now i want to be able to set permissions so that when i fill it out and email it to a customer they cannot edit it.

Hi,

you can use scripting to lock the fields.

if(xfa.host.messageBox("Protect the form?", "Enable write protection",2,2)==4)
{
for (var i = 0; i < xfa.host.numPages; i++)
{ 
//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";
}
}
}

A simpler method is to print the forms to a PDF-file.
This definitely will flatten the form, but you also will lose all interactivity of the forms.

Radzmar,

What exactly do you do to get your code formatted like that? I've been unsuccessful in the past.

Sorry for the highjack Jake.

@George

There is a list of supported HTML tags you can use in your posts to highlight codes and other things.
But it's like to be gold dust to find that list.
