Hi list.

Is there a way to "lock" the form (i.e., at the end of the data entry, no further editing is possible)

Nik,
Not really, the final form is just XML, so it can be edited in any text editor, like notepad, etc. 
We have considered adding a "Finished" toggle so that it could not be edited any further in KoBoForm.

Neil,

Hi. Yes, my apologies. That's what I meant, making the results un-editable through KoBoForm. The end-user is not expected to have any other editing software within the device itself.

Thanks.

Hey Nik,
It's a good request. I'll add it into our code tracker as a feature request and we'll try and roll it out with the next version of KoBoForm.

Thanks Neil. 

Does KoBo have a roadmap posted somewhere?
