Calculation order & storage??

[Dan-A]

I have fields that are calculated with a custom function that is just

text parsing to extract data from an e-mail body (stored claculation, once

extracted the data will not change, so i think no need to use the "do not store option...").

So far so good...

In the same script that gets my email body info to be used to extract content to my calculated fields,

I want to use the info in the calculated fields in a IF step...

My problem is when i use the IF script step to test the contents of each calculated field

it's as if they have no data..

I have tried to use a commit step to "save & force the calculations to get processed. But that does not work

Any ideas?? When does the data get stored in calc fields??

Thanks
