Create a form with limited editing access

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a form for my workplace that enables people to sign up for a carwash; basically just a simple list with people's name and contact information. I have already created the form, but I was wondering if there was a way to limit editing access so that people can only edit their entry but cannot erase prior entries? 

 

Alternatively, is there a way to create a form where the "results" are compiled and sent to me, the form creator?
Thank you.

    - You can add a "lock" button next to each set of fields, or a "finalize" button that will make all the filled-in fields read-only when clicked. It's not secure, of course, but it should stop most common users from making further edits to those fields. This will require using a script, though.

     

    - Sure. See the "Add a submit button" section in this page:
