Overridden fields' values not retained after form is saved/reopened

Hi Everyone,

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I've searched the net, but can't seem to resolve my problem.

The form itself is somewhat complex. If needed, I can get into the details of how the calculation is done, but may save some time if I just explain the problem:

I have 3 drop down boxes on my form that are auto-populated based on what is entered in a series of other dropdown boxes. The user is allowed to change the calculated drop downs to another option if they want.

When the form is saved and reopened, 2 of the 3 drop downs are not retaining the value the user selected if they overrode it. Instead, it's recalculating against the calculation script that's written. Strange thing is that there is 1 of the three drop down retaining it's value perfectly.

Is there anyway I can save the overridden values, or stop it from recalculating and reverting when the form is saved then reopened? I can't set the fields to disabled/read-only either, in case the user needs to override and save again to something else later.

Thanks for any help you can provide!!
