Data Entry - Formulae/totals do not automatically update (when user types in new values)

Troubleshooting


Problem

User opens a data entry form. User enters a new value (number) in a cell. The form has some formulae configured to give some 'totals' (for the values). User expects to see that the totals should change (when the new numbers are entered). However, none of the formulas/totals/calculated values are changed (when data is entered / numbers are changed).

Symptom

Calculated (total) values do not change when user enters data (into a data entry form).
