Can I manually enter in a field that has a calculation?

Hi,

The attached sheet has a form called BOL_information_entry. The third field is named ETA date. It is a calculated field. Is there a way I can manually enter into that field after the calculation has been run? I unlocked the box but it is giving me the error message Control can't be edited.

Any thoughts on what I can do to manually enter into this field if I want?

Thanks in advance.

Eddie.

Set your calculation as the default value of ETA date, then you can change it to what ever as necessary.

Thank you for your very quick reply.

I set the calculation to the default field. It now comes up blank. I can enter manually into it but I want the calculation to appear all the time. Did I hit something wrong?

Thanks

Eddie.

You haven't set default correctly.

Exactly what do you have in the Default Property?
