 * I have a form which uses several hidden calculated fields to arrive at a final
   calculated field which is displayed on the screen.
 * The form displays the correct answer but, before it does that, it displays various
   different incorrect answers and then settles on the correct one.
 * I presume that the intermediate values are displayed as the form works its way
   through the various hidden calculated values.
 * Is there a way to prevent this happening and only display the final calculation
   when it’s ready?
