Thanks for your quick reply, Paul.

I took your suggestions and have already changed the checkboxes to the legacy forms' check box. So there's no conflict now. However, the date picker is still the same. I know of the date validation option for the text field. But I wanted to have the option to provide the user with a date picker option. But I guess the validation option will be the solution in this case. But is there no specific file format options when the user saves it that would convert it to a read only format (locking down all fields and only allow the reviewer to use the responses to copy and paste on an external online application form?

As regards the subsequent use of this data, a database would have been good to have, but the form will be used for completing an online application form for our clients.

To go a step further, would you know of a way how that process can be automated? basically this form is designed based on the online application form. And the reviewer actually copies and pastes the data in to the online form. Is there a way to automate that process?? The online form is an external source (Government application form) we cannot simply upload this form in to that system.

Thank you.
