hi to everyboby.
i need to create a form with 2 sections and assign them different author privileges.
i created the two sections specifying [role] in the first one and a forumla to compute the author in the second.
then i set the default access to the db as reader.
however , if i use an id with no ACL specified, i can still edit these two sections.
did i forget anything? who can help me? it’s very urgent! thank you in advance

through the entire section - not only making the first section titled, using the role to exclude folks, but also on each individual field and line within the section. That has happened to me. Same thing with the second section. Just check that even the text lines are also coded with the same formula as the section header. HTH Cathy
Subject: PROBLEMS WITH ACCESS CONTROLLED SECTIONS
Did you enter a formula for the controlled access section? I usually set mine to “No One” with a field type of Computed When Composed and then I use code to assign the right authors at the appropriate time through workflow. You can use computed of course which will always update whenever the document is saved. But that will overwrite any changes you might make via code. If you leave the formulas blank, it means that anyone can edit that section. I usually set the formula of the first section to “” when the document is first created since I usually don’t know who will be creating the document, but once the document is saved, I reset the formula to that person’s name, thereby restricting that section to him. And when that person clicks on an approve\submit button (whatever I’ve designed), I add code that will reset the formula for the next section from “No One” to whoever it needs to be.
