I would love some help to total some pull down selection boxes in another section of my PDF document

Question

I am editing a PDF that has 51 dropdown lists. They are titled "Code1" "Code2" all the way down to "Code51"

Each dropdown list is the same and has the same following selections:

A"blank" selection that is a single space bar so the field looks blank.

N

NAM

R

RAM

RDM

R/I

NDM

N*

NAM*

NDM*

L-35

L-36

L-51

L-65

CARDG

CARDP

On another part of the form, I have the same items listed with a text field beside it in a recap section at the end of the form. example:

N ______ NAM ________

My goal is that each time a selection for the total number of times a selection is made from a dropdown list to be displayed in the recap section

example:

If I have chosen "N" a total of 19 different times in 19 of the 51 dropdown lists, it will read "N 19 " in the recap section.

I'm assuming this will take some sort of script.... I am extremely new to this so please spell it out for me and if you don't mind doing it so that I can copy and past the script, that would be AWESOME!

here is the code to count the number of times "N" is selected var nSum = 0;for(var i=1;i<=51 ; i++){    if(this.getField("Code" + i).value == "N")        nSum++;}event.value = nSum;
