Default Locking a Form

I have a form that has several field that either need to be key'd in or have
drop down menu's for selections. What I want to do is lock all fields so the
person I am sending the form to won't be able to make any changes. In
essence lock the data.

Any help will be appreciated, but be kind because I am a newbie at this.
thanks

Default Locking a Form

Click the Edit Read Layout button in form design mode, and for each control on that layout, set it to ReadOnly in its Properties dialog. You might also replace combo box controls on that layout with text boxes.
