Default How to lock fill-in form & keep others from opening using tool

There is no way you can prevent anyone from changing a document that you
allow them to see. You can only make it a little more difficult and the
password will achieve that.

The form is an application, and it would need some kind of security
with it to keep others from making changes. So I understand from you
that there's no way to lock of this type?

That will slow them down a bit, but ultimately it will not stop
users from making changes.

Set a password on it?

I have created a fill-in form that seems to be working; however, i
wish to prevent other individuals from making changes. Right now,
even if I protect it, others could open the form, select the Forms
toolbar, and change information. Is there a way to keep this from
happening? --
