Calculate Value Not Saving

I have a form that totals the number of boxes checked. They are named “Check Box1” through “Check Box24”. There were only 23 when this form was originally built and functioned properly. I now added the 24th, but it doesn’t calculate in the total. The Text Field Properties are set to “Value is the sum(+)” but when I select “Check Box24” it doesn’t save. If I click OK and go right back into Pick, it shows as unchecked again. What am I doing wrong?

    Try use this as custom calculation script instead:

    var count = 0;
for(var i=1; i<=24; i++){
if(this.getField("Check Box"+i).valueAsString !== "Off")
count++;}
event.value = count;

    Thanks so much for the reply. When I paste that into Custom Calulation Script, it immediately defaults to "Value is not Calculated". Any ideas?

    Try to reset acrobat and even PC and try again, if that doesn't help, share actual file with us.
