I am developing a form that needs to be completed by one individual and then
reviewed by another. Whenever the form is locked ("protect form" icon on the
form toolbar) for use, the track changes toolbar is greyed out. Does anyone
know how to enable track changes for use while a form is protected?

Have you tried turning it on before protecting the form? It works for me.

Thank you very much Charles! This is definitely an improvement . . . the form
now tracks changes to text responses, but it still doesn't seem to track
changes made in combo boxes (select list entries). Do you have any of those
in your forms?

No, I didn't check that. Sorry.

For this issue, what about allowing the user(s) who fill out the form to
review and accept changes from others before finalizing? I cannot get it to
allow to review and accept/reject changes until the form is unprotected.
