Automatically Update Form Text Feild Calculations
I am preparing a form in Word. I have a table and the last row i want to sum
the rows above. I am using a form text field calculation to do this. i have "checked" the box on every field that says calculate on exit. when i protect the form and input numbers the formula does not update. i am totally out of ideas on how to fix this and have been searching the online help for some 4 hours. i have other forms that i have written and used this exact method and they all work on my pc. i did not originally construct this form. i was wondering if there is some property that may have been disabled in this document that may be causing the problem.... i would appreciate any help on this as i am desperate -- Brendan Vassallo |

Hi ?B?QnJlbmRhbiBWYXNzYWxsbw==?=,
I am preparing a form in Word. I have a table and the last row i want to sum the rows above. I am using a form text field calculation to do this. i have "checked" the box on every field that says calculate on exit. when i protect the form and input numbers the formula does not update. i am totally out of ideas on how to fix this and have been searching the online help for some 4 hours. i have other forms that i have written and used this exact method and they all work on my pc. i did not originally construct this form. i was wondering if there is some property that may have been disabled in this document that may be causing the problem.... Well... You could try, in the unprotected state, Ctrl+A, Shift+Ctrl+F11. If the fields have been locked against updating, this would release them.
