OLE Objects
Your form’s creator may have inserted OLE objects in the form. OLE
stands for
object linking and embedding.
In OmniForm Filler, OLE objects
usually will appear as icons, pictures, or text. Usually, these objects have
been inserted to provide the form with more information. For example,
you may see an icon in your form such as the one pictured below.
In the OmniForm program, this object could be launched as a document
in Microsoft Word. You can only view the icon in OmniForm Filler,
however. See the
OmniForm User’s Manual
or your form’s creator if you
want to know more about OLE objects.
Filling/Signing a Form That Has Security Properties
Security properties are set up by the creator of the form and a Work
Group Administrator. Security properties protect the person who fills
out the form and the user who processes the form.
The creator of the form designates the fields that will have security
properties. For example, the creator of the form may set up a field or
fields (text or comb fields) on a form that become locked once a signature
field (which is a specialized text field) is filled.
The person who fills out the form first fills in the locked fields and then
“signs” the signature field by using a password. Once the signature field
is signed, the locked fields cannot change unless the person who fills out
the form unlocks the fields by using a password. To “sign” a form, you
need to set up a password through your Work Group Administrator.
For more information about how Security works, please see the
OmniForm User’s Manual

Security Information
OmniForm provides security information about a form in the Security
Information dialog box. Use this dialog box to find if a field has been
signed and verified, or to access the database where the information is
stored.
To obtain security information:
1 Open a form.
2 Choose
Security...
in the Tools menu.
The Security Information dialog box appears.
