Hi Lenny,

You could use an auto macro to test the username and, if it:
. is not the supervisor's username, the macro could turn off the "fill-in enabled" property for the supervisor-only fields.
. is the supervisor's username, the macro could turn on the "fill-in enabled" property for the supervisor-only fields.
You'd need to have the supervisor's username hard coded or stored in the document properties.

You could also use the same technique to lock supervisors out of the employee-comment areas too. Coded correctly, only the employee
and their supervisor would be able to make any edits - others would effectively have read-only access only.

Cheers
