Stop calculating

[RArki]

Just started using FileMaker.

Have a situation where my student DB calculates the total hours based on a 42 week year. Student signs up, i insert an 'startdate'. When students terminate, I punch in a 'EndDate' which is kind of ok with regards to the actual dates. Problem appears in the calculation field of the 'StartDate' to = 'LessonTotal' because this calculation method continues even after the student has resigned.

I need a script to stop this from happening, say if I select 'Inactive' status or if I enter an 'EndDate'.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Rena

Seeing the formula of the calculation field would be useful.
