Sure. As the custom calculation script of the field you can use something like this:

if (this.getField("Checkbox1").valueAsString=="Off") event.value = 0;

else event.value = ... ;

Replace "Checkbox1" with the actual name of the field and "..." with the actual calculation you want to use.

I am trying to have the drop down fill in the FET line next to it with either a zero or a calculation depending on what is selected from the drop down menu (2 options).

You need to provide more details: What values? What options? What calculation? What are the field names?
