Calculate 4 fields plus a base number? Seems simple? Can't figure it out!

Im trying to calculate a total based on numbers typed into 4 fields - which works fine - however, I also have to add a number to that total (a base cost to which the other 4 fields will be added).  In the simplified field notation, I have the following: AACCgraphics+AACCFurniture+AACCFloor+AACCExtras+45500   With the addition of the +45500 into that script, it displays the initial total correctly in the total field, however it doesn't add any numbers from the other fields. I feel like this should be a simple thing to do, but I can't figure it out. Help!

In the JS-Console. Press Ctrl+J to open it.


Ah! Perfect!  TypeError (I had not capitalized a letter in the name of the first field)  Works now!  Thank you!

It should work... What is the actual outcome when you do it? Did you check the JS-Console for error messages?

The number never changes... if I delete the +45500 the total adds the 4 fields as expected... Where would the error message appear?
