No problem.

Make a new form called "Dummy Form to Block Grid Edit".  Put no fields on the form!

Now that you have multiple forms, go to the forms settings and Forms usage and tell QuickBase which form to use for Grid edit - set that to be the Dummy form.  So while users will still be able to get into Grid Edit, it will be a highly unsatisfying experience as there will be no fields to enter data into.  hence they will not try again.
