Automatic calculations

[Rob]

Is there a way to create a field which automatically sums
up numbers and does not require the field to be updated
each time a change is made, just as it is possible to do
using protected form text fields?

Is it possible to insert fields where numbers are
automatically formatted (again without using protected
form fields)?

Hi Rob,

Inserting an Excel Worksheet is the nearest that you will get to both of
these. The appearance in the finished document will be no different.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Put a cursor in the first empty cell under the numbers,
Select Inser|Field|=(formula) press Formula button and
type "=SUM(ABOVE)".
But after table modification you have to recalcualte it
manually (press F9).
