I would like an option added to data lock the file after printing in addition to the existing option for locking after marking as complete. I have had a few couple files change without user input this year after the file has been printed.

The pattern seems to be pension splitting and foreign tax credits. Anyone else notice this?

I had two files change between printing and signing, where the business statements and the tax slips were duplicated. Locking following printing would have (I believe) prevented this.
