Well, in the first place, Java ain't JavaScript; but we get your drift :-)
Secondly, renaming all the fields following the recommended Acrobat JavaScript naming convention will allow you to make a single statement to lock the fields. F'rinstance, say you named the fields kit.name, kit.address, kit.city, kit.state, kit.zip, kit.phone, etc. You can then issue the statement "this.getField("kit").readonly = true" to lock all fields with a "kit." prefix. You don't have to specifically look for all the fields beginning with "kit" because Acrobat JS will do it for you.
Sounds like you need a copy of the JavaScript Guide and the scripting reference, found at the link below:

Hello everyone
�
I have two scripts that I've been trying to marry. Not being a pro at Java I'm achieving as much success as a
fish on a bicycle. These scripts work well on their own in different documents but I need to have the
functionality of them both in a single document. I have many different forms with as many different field names.
What I want is to put a field in where "User1" can enter a password to 'unlock' the form(all fields beginning with "kit")�after having downloaded the form from the intranet. This form has a Master Password.�"User1" then
completes the form and 'locks' the form before e-mailing it to "User2"�. The passwords to 'lock' and 'unlock' the
forms must be different.SCRIPT 1will work fine but then I'll have to insert a line of code
(this.getField("kitField").readonly = 1;) for each and every field in the form. It would be easier for me to insert "kit"
before every field name and somehow letSCRIPT 2look for all the fields beginning with "kit" and lock/unlock
only them.
I know you guys are thinking: "Why doesn't he just employ a User Password ?"
OK !! "User1" can have a User Password to open the form after downloading, complete the form and 'lock'(simple button script) before e-mailing to "User2". I DON'T WANT "USER2" TO HAVE THE USER PASSWORD OR
"USER1" TO HAVE THE MASTER PASSWORD .....
Sounds simple, eh ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! C'mon Max and Leonard - this should be a walk in the park.

Thanx in advance

SCRIPT 1

}
event.value = "";

SCRIPT 2
// Enumerate through all of the fields in the document,
// and set them to lock/unlock unless they have 'kit' as 1st part
// of field name
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) { ��� var f = this.getNthFieldName(i); ��� console.println(f.substring(0,3)); ��� if (f.substring(0,3) != "kit") ������� this.getField(f).readonly = false; }
