Once I return a message based form with my answer via email using form based
selections is there a way to lock the message form so the receiver cannot
just pick another option?
 
There are a couple of different ways to accomplish this:

1) Use a different form for the reply and make all the controls on that form's compose and read layouts read-only.

2) Use a custom property to store information about the "state" of the message (e.g. unsent original, received original, unsent reply, received reply) and use code in the Item_Open event handler to disable/enable controls depending on the state. You probably would set the "state" property in the Item_Send event handler.
