Default Creating a form

I am creating a form and would like to have one of my tables automatically
tally numbers. I found that I can plug numbers into cells and then click
formula, enter the addition commands and get the total. Unfortunately you
have to go this process each time you want the total. Is there a way to set
it up to tally each time you enter numbers without having to go through all
of that?

If you check the box for "Calculate on exit" in the Form Field Options for
each of the form fields contributing to the total, then the formula field
will update automatically.
