New Form RESETS... Help!

I have created a new form from scratch. The form works great. the only problem is that it automatically set itself to block saving the document on my own computer or any other. The warning I get is, "You cannot save the data entered into this form, please print document before closing."

I want my team to be able to enter data into this form and save seperate versions of it.

Does anyone know how to turn this off?

I went into the Page Actions and there was no "Reset" action on the page. I cannot think of any other way the document may be unsavable.

If I try to "save as copy", it saves the new file name, but when that new version is accessed, it also is a blank form. No data...

Please help :)

It sounds as if you haven't purchased a copy of Acrobat for everyone
in your team. Adobe don't provide the tools for you to set up
workgroup forms for people with Reader only.

That doesn't explain why I can't even save versions of this form on my own machine which does have Pro installed does it? I'm surprised Adobe does not allow Reader users to save forms that I mark Read & Write.

No, it doesn't. At a guess you have Reader TOO, and you are opening
the file in Reader.

Reader is free. There are a great many things it can't do, and knowing
them is a very important part of planning a Reader-based workflow.
