Form Security
Locking Form
In majority of cases you do not want the end-user to be able to modify forms. Once the form is
locked, all the actions (button actions, On Load, On Close, On Timer) will be encrypted.
One method to prevent the users having access to the design mode is running the form by double-
clicking on its shortcut. This will start the form directly in the Run mode, where no changes can be
done. But the user can bypass it by manually opening the form file.
To lock the form, do the following:
1. Open your form.
2. Select the command Form Properties in the File menu.
3. Go to the Advanced tab.
4. Tick the option Form locked.
5. Tick the option Password protection and click on the Set password button.
6. Provide the password and click on the OK button.
7. Click on the OK button.
