I have a calculated field called VOL, which is calculated from the other three fields(height, width, and depth).
I assigned the formula:
:height * :width * :depth
which comes out a right number.
HOWEVER, after I save the record, the calculation was not saved to the table.
I understand the value might just for DISPLAY. but, where should I change in order to be able to save it. I have carefully gone through every attribute in property, but failed to find out.
Doea anyone know?
Thanks,

And the field is being calculated when exactly? Post-query? view definition?

And the field is a database item?

Is it really necessary to save the calculation? If so, verify that there's a table column corresponding with your block's item. Set the property database item to 'Yes'.
