Protecting Data

It is important to protect information and form design in your database.
This section describes how to use the OmniForm protection options to
protect both your data and form design from potential deletions or
changes, as well as the benefits of using the OmniForm Filler program.
If your OmniForm database has an administrator, check with the
administrator first before making any changes.
Many databases have multiple users. Until a user is familiar with
database concepts and how to use OmniForm, you may want to protect
the information (data) entered in fill view from deletion or change.
To protect your data:
1 If you are in fill view, click the Design button in the standard
toolbar or choose Design in the View menu to switch to design
view.
2 Choose Protection... in the Tools menu.
The Protection dialog box appears.
3 Select Protect Data.
4 Click OK.
Information in fill view is now read-only. All the commands
and buttons associated with protected operations are grayed
out.
5 Click the Fill button in the standard toolbar or choose Fill in the
View menu to switch to fill view.
6 Place your cursor in a fill text field and try to type text.
