MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / October 2006Locking out Submit Button
We are using InfoPath 2003 and just starting to design and use forms. Once a form has completed its routing, we are actually committing it for storage in an Imaging System. When we recall the image, it opens using Infopath but the problem lies in that the submit button is still live. Even though the image cannot be altered, someone viewing the completed form can alter fields and click submit again. Not an issue for address changes but could be a problem for payroll changes, I am sure the same issue would occur if we stored in a Sharepoint library. Is there any way to lock the form and the submit button after the form is completed? Thanks Doing more research I see that digital signatures may be an option but because of our operating environment, we would prefer not to use that option. > We are using InfoPath 2003 and just starting to design and use forms.

From here you can apply conditional formatting to your submit button that checks the state of the form and disables the button if you need more detail let me know Cheers Ben > Doing more research I see that digital signatures may be an option but > because of our operating environment, we would prefer not to use that option.

You can then use this field in your conditional formatting to disable the submit button. Hope this helps Cheers Ben > Thanks > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > > > > > > > Thanks |
