@ls_rbls We discovered it worked fine for others, so I updated Acrobat Pro and the problem was solved. Thanks

thanks for your replies. I resolved the issue by quitting and updating to the latest version of Acrobat Pro. Started over and the form works beautifully!

I don’t see much of a difference, except you added more fields, but as long as it works for you!

@Dave Creamer of IDEAS , @try67 @Julie Veronie-Askew :

The original intention of the OP with the first file shared wasn't communicated clearly enough.

For example, every item in the QTY dropdown has an export value. So, when a user selects an item from the QTY dropdown, a custom format script, a custom calculation script, or a validation script should be able to fill in the export value in the intended PRICE field.

I think the OP had some trouble figuring out how to update the currentValue of the last selected item in the dropdown; instead, the OP didn't mention that "Value is the sum (+)" was used as a custom calculation on the PRICE text field for the updates to work properly.

This is unnecessary on any of the PRICE fields because there isn't any real addition taken from the values of other fields in the PDF, except for the Grand-Total field that the OP included in the next file shared.
