Text Form Field Calculation in a Protected Document

[elinhaw]

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?

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

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.

You're welcome. It's a tiny but vital point that is far from intuitive or
obvious.
