You have to define the field as a number value. Under options in the number field, select that you want the number to be calculated. The only problem with this is once you've modified the field, you lose all calculating ability - it will from then on only recognize the field as a number field. The only way to get it back to being a calculating field is to delete the whole record. Hello, We just encountered another problem. We have a calculated field, but sometimes we want to override that and enter the data directly. The program does not allow this, it says: "Field is not modifiable!" or something to this effect. Any insights?
