Screening mechanisms for a three-form field around a dense source such as the Sun are
investigated. Working with the dual vector, we can obtain a thin-shell where field interactions
are short range. The field outside the source adopts the configuration of a dipole which is a
manifestly distinct behaviour from the one obtained with a scalar field or even a previously
proposed vector field model. We identify the region of parameter space where this model
satisfies present solar system tests.
