Making a field compute when I want it to

[thero]

I want a field to compute its value only once a user has inputted into another field and clicked a submit button. This is probably a really simple thing to do but I rushed through learning Lotus and I seem to have missed it.

Many thanks

you might try something like:

@if(first field="default value";"";"variable name for computation&quot

Set the variable to "" and on the submit button, write the formula that assigns the computation to the variable.
