Keep date calculations set after filling in

I have a form that with a due date field that is read only and a calulation that info is due 2 weeks after filling out this form.  Once submitted I don't want this field to change as it is set to add 14 days to today.  How can I do this?

You can do it by adding a (hidden) check-box to the file and tick it when the Submit button is clicked, and then adjust the calculation code of the text field to only update it if that check-box is not ticked.

Thank you try67.  That should do it.  Don't know why I couldn't think of that!  🙂
