I have a Button which I have created to activate a lock using javascript for specific fields. However, whenever the Button is pressed it creates an event that triggers a calculation script for a Combo Box I am using. Is there anyway to disable or prevent the Combo Box calculation script from running whenever the Button is pressed?

Thanks

Was the combo box created in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer?

If Acrobat, the script should only get triggered if a field value changes (or the calculateNow method is used). Does pressing the button cause any field values to change?

You can turn off automatic calculations for an entire document by controlling the "calculate" document property, but that may not be what you want. You might want to provide more details about how things are set up and why you want to prevent the calculation from occurring.
