Not all Form Fileds Update in Real Time

I have a simple weekly sum of fields form that updates in real time correctly in the top three of the four tables.

The bottom TEAM table also works in real time for the first ten columns. But the last two columns, Team Total, do not update automatically.

Field order seems to be correct.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Yes, the calculation order is incorrect.  Look on the more menu in the "Prepare Form" tools.

I see... No wonder why I couldn't figure this out.

The 'Set Field Calculation Order' command was in a different place than all the examples, therefore I thought the list as seen in the attached screehot was the order.

 

Thank you all for your help.

Adobe should add a statement the the Fields List is not the Calculation Order and serves a different purpose.

Check the field calculation order.
