Calcuate on Exit Bug?

Maybe I don't really understand what checking calculate on exit does for a
form field but I've never seen this before. I've got a form with about a
dozen fields, some of them are calculations but...

well what they are doing is MULTIPLE calcuations as you tab through the
fields. They don't calculate just once...they REPEATEDLY calculate the
formulas everytime you tab out of a field in the document. so 200 becomes 400
becomes 800 becomes 1600, etc.

This won't work, and I have other Word forms with Calculate on Exit that
don't act this way at all. Am I missing something or is my document bugged?

Can you post some of the field codes for the fields that exhibits that
behaviour?

n'er mind. It was bugged. I made a new document (same fields) and it works
fine. Thanks, though!
