I have spent numerous hours on revisions to a custom for I created. When all is said and done, the requestor has added redundant fields and information which gives it a cluttered and unprofessional look. Is it possible to lock down the design of the form while still allowing users to imput data in the expected fields?

Most definitely! First - in the spots where you want information entered, make sure you have used either a checkbox field or a text/edit field. When you are all done, go to Tools | Protect Document ... click the radio button for "Forms" and assigna password. Then save. Anyone opening will ONLY be directed to each open field to supply answers - the entire rest of the document is untouchable without unprotecting it with the password.
