--> Juan Manuel also thinks that it was locking the forms at certain point.

--> For the IPPF implementation, we are using approvals + acceptance. The
issue is that the complete/ incomplete button is just generating confusion
(a lot) - it doesn't seem to mean anything if a data entry user can
complete/incomplete whenever. I know that there is people using this in
combination with Expiration Date.. Perhaps we could have a setting on the
DataSet that reads like: enable complete/ incomplete? If no, then the
buttons don't show.

--> One last question: Will the approval/acceptance status make it to the
Pivot Table? Or do we need to develop a SQL+App to be able to see them?
