How Forms are Used with Derived Fields
The derived fields on a form are active when you view, add, or modify rows. You cannot place values directly into a derived field on a form. However, if the value of a source field changes, VIFRED recalculates the value of the derived field.
When you create a new row by moving the cursor down, the values for derived columns automatically display, if they can be calculated.
