    I saved my encryption code so I know it’s 100% correct but I still can’t open it?

    Hi Brittany,

    Thanks for reaching out to us for help. Make sure you're entering the same access code you set up during the enabling process of the encryption. If you're getting an invalid access code error message when viewing the submission, that only means it doesn't match the access code you've set in the form.

    If you're getting a different error message, you can take a screenshot of it and share it with us here so we can check.
