I'm sure this is simple; however I am very new to acrobat and javascript.

Here is what I want to do:

I have a CheckBox field and a Text field. If the checkbox is "checked" I want to populate the text field with a specific numeric value. If it is left "unchecked" there would be no value or 0 value. Any help is appreciated.

Enter this code as the custom calculation script of your text field:

event.value = this.getField("CheckBox1").value == "Off" ? 0 : 1234;

When I put in this script, it automatically puts my text field as '1234'. I need the text field to be editable by the user. For example, if check box 1 is checked, text field 1 needs a required population data of the users choice, i/e 1500, 1600, and so on.
