Recalculating records applies any new or changed calculations to selected records in 
a database. Until you recalculate records, new or changed calculations apply only to 
new records. For information on creating calculations in records, see the OmniForm 
User’s Guide.

For example, suppose you changed the mileage calculation in an expense form to 
reflect the latest rate. All new records would use the new calculation and reflect this 
rate. You would not want older records to use the new calculation because the 
original rate was correct at the time they were filled. If you recalculated all records 
after adding the new calculation to the expense form, the mileage rates on your old 
records would also change. To prevent this, you could search the records for those 
records that are newer than the date that you changed the mileage calculation, and 
apply the new calculation only to the newer records.

You cannot recalculate records if data protection is turned on for the form. See 
page 71 for more information.
