Several ideas come to mind.

The form is saved as a table, which you can open with USE MYFORM (or whatever it is called). The source code gets saved into one memo field, an executable version, in another memo field. You can REPLACE ALL METHODS WITH "", but do this only in a copy, not in your original form. You will need the source code in your original form, to continue making changes.

Also, you can compile to an executable. De-compilation is possible, but I think this can be prosecuted as a criminal offence (at least in some countries).

Also, programs like refox or konxise offer some technical protection against decompilation, but I never tried them.
