Hello, I am working on a nursing shift turn over form. One of the things I
would like to do is set it up to calculate length of a baby. We enter in the
CM and in another block it automatically calculates the inches.
I have the CM box set as a number, and has a bookmark of Text36. Then my
next box is for inches. It is bookmarked Text37. I have it set as a
calculation. In the expression box I have = Text36 / 2.54. When I save out
of the Field Options box it does the calculation and puts the correct value
in there. When I protect the form and use it, no matter what I put in Text36
(the CM box) it doesnt change Text37 (the inches box.) Is there a way to do
this? Does someone know an example maybe that I could look at to get it to
work? Thank you so much for your time.

Andrew,
For Text35 do you have "calculate on exit" checked in the Field
Options?

Do I have to put calculate on exit on Text35? It doesnt have anything to do
with the calculation I am trying to do. Thanks for your response.

Well no, that was a typo. I meant do you have calculate on exit set in
Text36?

Thanks Greg! That did it. I very much appreciate your time. I thought that
that check box was for the actual box you wanted the calculations done in.
Thanks again for your time.
