I am sending a form out to recipients via Lotus Script doc.Send and I would like to discourage them from trying to edit the form by hiding the “Edit Form” action button that is visible in the received form. The action button is needed when the form is accessed via the database, but I need to hide it when the form is sent via email. Is there a way to test where the form is being access from? I don’t want or need to restrict edit access, I just want to hide a button. We are using only the Notes client. Thanks.

Okay- my question is are you storing the form in the document? Because if you are not, it won’t open correctly in their mail. And If you are, they can edit it all day long and it won’t be in the database it came from.

Use a hide/when on the button
@DbTitle != “”

You’re using store form in document, but sending them a form they’re not supposed to edit?
You’re sending them a report.
There’s no need to store form there. Just put the report in the body of a regular memo. It won’t take up so much space in their mail file.
What do you care if they edit their own copy? It’s their mail file – they can do what they want in it. If you like, you could instead create a read-only report in your database and send them a link to it.
