Edit Hidden Item in SharePoint 2007 List (Without coding)

I'm using SharePoint 2007 and I'm trying to figure out a way to hide a group of fields from being options in a new-item form when a list item is being created by an end-user. However, I also want to make those hidden items available to be edited by an administrator at a later time. Finally, I need to do this using the GUI interface WITHOUT needing to code / without setting ShowInNewForm to FALSE (don't even get me started...). Let me be a bit more specific:

  1. I have a list of items, some of which are required/optional and some of which are hidden.

  2. I want a visitor to my site to be able to make a new item by filling in a form where only the required/optional fields are visible.

  3. I then, as an administrator with full control, want to be able to go back after this item is uploaded and add values to the other hidden fields.

I am open to hearing out other methods of doing this if anyone has suggestions. Unforunately, implementing anything through code isn't an option as my employer has standard SharePoint templates so I'm not allowed to implement anything through code that isn't available from the GUI interface.

if you don't want to implement through code. You can use the third-party tools to solve your problem. Column permissions from ArtfulBits, Column Level Security from Bamboo, and Column View Permission from BoostSolutions. Our company use products from Bamboo and BoostSolutions. But for sharepoint permissions, we use products from BoostSolutions. All those companies support free trial. Hope this helps.
