Default Text Form Field Calculation in a Protected Document

Okay, now it is working! Thank you! I had the box checked in the form that
should have the calculated number, but not the other fields that were
contributing to the calculation. Thank you very much.

Have you checked "Calculate on exit" in each form field that contributes to
the calculation?

I have several text form fields with numbers in them. I have set up
calculations with the cell letters/numbers and have clicked the "calculate
on
exit" buttons, and the calculations work while I am in the document,
editing
it. However, after I protect the document and my form is ready to be
filled
in, any changes to the numbers don't auto-calulate. The number in the box
that is supposed to be the calculation stays the same. Any ideas?
