What is the purpose of Digital Signatures?

Is there anyone out there that can help me? I am new to infopath, however I
have created a form with a connection to an Access Database to retrieve info
and to submit info. I have created several views of a form so I could create
a Menu - to consist of "Enter Data", Search & Edit Data, Create a Report and
to exit. The form is working fine to enter data and submit data, but since I
am submitting and printing, I had to make the form full trusted and created a
digital signature.

my delima is this: I publish my form to our S: drive which is a share drive
and gave access to only certain employees, when they go in for the 1st time
they install my digital signature and then they can actually get in the form
and submit data and get reports. Am I right by letting them install my
digital signature or should they create their own?

2. Also, in order for me to deploy my program to another office I actually
email my form and put it on the S: drive of that paticular office and make a
folder to put the form in so I can publish the same form to their office,
because the database even though is exactly like my database it has a
different "Employee" table with the names of the employees in that office. I
don't want our employees names to show in that office. And when they run a
report, I want them to only get the report based on their employees. Is this
the proper way to do this or is their a simpler or better way to accomplish
this?

3. I can't seem to find anyone with an answer on how to publish 1 form to
several different locations and having the form to be pointing to the
particular offices's S: drive. ( we all have S: drives so that is the reason
I was using that drive.)

Any help would be appreciated.
