Differences between Stored Calc field and Auto enter calc?

  • Follow


In FM7, you now have the option to make a field an "Auto Enter"
calculation that automatically updates, if you unselect the "Do not
replace the existing value of this field (if any)" checkbox.

So, what are the functional differences between an
  Auto-enter Calc Field (replace existing contents)  
and a 
  Calculation Field (Stored)

I understand the differences from a user-interface perspective (you
can't type into a Calc field).  

But...are there any significant performance, speed, or size differences?
Both fields are stored, can be indexed, and can participate in
relationships, so it would seem that they should function more or less
the same.
