Disable submit button in Google Forms?

I'm writing a form and have a multi-select with certain responses (age range); for ranges below a specified value, we redirect users to a page with information on why we don't accept that range currently, etc.

The problem is that the form navigation appears on this page, so they can hit Back (no problem) and Submit (problem).

We don't want users submitting if they wind up on this error-catch page, but I haven't seen any way of disabling or hiding the submit button.

Even checking Google scripts, it doesn't seem like this is possible? Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?

You can disable the Google form by accessing Responses tab and unchecking the option Acception responses.

The SUBMIT button either appears on the last page, or on pages where the setting is set to: Submit Form

You probably have the error page as the last page, and the next to last page set to Submit Form.

There is no way to disable the submit button. Put the error page BEFORE the last page. Make the page that is right before the error page skip over the error page and navigate to the last page (Submit Page). On the last page have only one question like: Are you done? "Yes" "No" This way, the user will never see the submit button until they get to that last page. On the Error page, set the page navigation to go to something like back to the first page. If the user clicks BACK on the SUBMIT page, it will skip over the error page and go to the page before it. Of course, the user could navigate back, and change the answer, and get to the SUBMIT page. But then they'd be lying about their age.
