Default Protect / unprotect a form

If you design your forms in Excel to begin with (much better suited for
this task - IMO), then applying sheet protection is all that's
necessary. If you unlock cells requiring input from those who would be
filling out the form, then they could move from field to field via the
'Tab' or 'Arrow' keys. This would obviate the need to print the form to
fill it out. You could also provide instruction to use 'SaveAs' and
append their name to the filename, OR make the file an XLT so they can
open a new (unsaved) workbook based on that XLT.
