Calculations In A Table With Form Fields

[Jeff]

I have three columns and 35 rows in a table. I would like to do a calculation on column A and column B and put the result in column C for each row. I would like to have form fields in columns A and B so users can tab through the form quickly and not be able to mess with the formula. When I do not use form fields everything works fine. The problem is when I protect my document for the form fields I'm unable to select my table (the option on the menu is grayed out) and then hit the F9 key to update my calculations since the document is protected. How can I resolve this????

On each formfield that will be used in your calculation, check the field
property for "calculate on exit." Your totals will be updated when a user
tabs or clicks out of one of these fields.
