Default Preventing Edits

Macropod,

I have read through this entire thread and have not seen my issue addressed.

I receive documents from multiple managers from across the country that I am trying to standardize. I have done this by enabling editing protections on the document itself and using text fields, a drop down list, and the date picker tool.

When I select an option from my drop down list the appropriate field populates with the correct information. However, a person can go back to that output field and edit the information in that field. I have turned on editing restrictions to prevent this from happening, but that causes the code that you attached at the beginning of this thread to malfunction and not work.

I want the users of this file to only be able to edit a few places and the drop down list output is not one of them.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

P.S. If you know how to restrict manual entry on the date picker and force the user to click the arrow to choose a date that would also be helpful.

Thank you
