Up dating calculation form fields

Word 2000. I have created a form template that contains calculation form
fields (the calculate on exit has been turned on for each field). I have also
created a user form that passes the results to the fields on the template
this aids my end customers in data entry.  The results are passed to the
template and updates the form fields as expected.  My problem is that the
calculations are not updated in the template.  They will update if the end
user tabs through a couple of fields, but I don't want the to have to do
that. I tried writing vba code to tab but get an error that says I cant tab
because the form is protected.  Any ideas on a work around?
