    Hi Fred, 

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our Dutch Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in Dutch, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

    Now, let me help you with your question. If you want to disable the calculation field, you can set the field as read-only. This will prevent anyone from adding any values. to this field. Let me show you how:

    • In Form Builder, click on the Gear icon of the calculation field.
    • Under the Advanced tab, Toggle the Read Only option to ON.

    If you are using a Calculation widget for your calculations, there is an option to make it Read-Only. Let me show you how:

    • In Form Builder, click on the Wand icon of the calculation widget.
    • Click on Options at the right bottom of the page.
    • Check the box beside the Result field is read only.
    • Go back and click on Save.
