Default Calculation in a table in a protected form

Thank you so much Suzanne. I only had the "calculate on exit" property set
for the "Total cost" field and didn't realize that all the fields referenced
in the formula (Qty and Price) had to have it enabled also.

Thanks was so helpful!

Thanks again.

Do you have "Calculate on exit" checked in the Form Field Options for every
field that contributes to the calculated field?

Hello,

What do I need to do to have a table update values in a protected form? I
set the formulas in the "Text Form Field" properties, but it doesn't seem

to
update the values.

I'm trying something simple, i.e., multiply the "Qty" by the "Price"
columns and show the result in the "Total Cost".

Appreciate your help.
