Is it possible to use a calculated field in a locked form?
I'm not having much success. All I want to do is add 3 or 4
fields
but when I lock the form the calculation does not work.

Thanks

Pat,

You will need to doubleclick on your formfields and check the selection to
"calculate on exit"

That is, with the form unprotected, you need to change the properties of
each field that is being used as the basis for the calculation. (This is one
of the more misleading captions for an option that I know about... well,
perhaps the WP options are more misleading....)
