Hello, I have a locked form where Field A and Field B are filled in by the user, and Field C is a calculated field using A & B. Field C is unavailable to the user when the form is locked. The only way I've gotten the calculated field to update is by going to Tools-Options-Print and choosing "update fields". So the user has to print first before being able to see the calculations. Choosing "Calculate on Exit" in Properties doesn't work, as the user never actually enters this field. Also tried ALT-F9, but that doesn't work in this case. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
