If, then validation scripts

Hi Guys, I'm a novice just starting with validation and calculation scripts.

I have a PDF form that has 5 calculated $ fields using calculation scripts. (we'll call them field, field2, field3, field4, field5)

I have a dropdown field that if the value selected is 1, the "amount due" field should return the value of field1

if value entered is 2, "amount due" field should return the value of field2

if value entered is 3, "amount due" field should return the value of field3

if value entered is 4, "amount due" field should return the value of field4

and if value entered is 5, "amount due" field should return the value of field5

I have tried everything I could find from reading several forums but I keep getting errors.

Can someone PLEASE help?

Thank you in advance

Let's say it's called "Dropdown1". You can use this code as the custom calculation script of "Amount Due":

var v = this.getField("Dropdown1").valueAsString;
if (v=="1") event.value = this.getField("field1").valueAsString;
else if (v=="2") event.value = this.getField("field2").valueAsString;
else if (v=="3") event.value = this.getField("field3").valueAsString;
else if (v=="4") event.value = this.getField("field4").valueAsString;
else if (v=="5") event.value = this.getField("field5").valueAsString;
else event.value = "";

Then insert that into the quotes in the first line of the code I posted above.

    AMAZING!!! All I can say. I have spent over 4 hours reading and trying out different validation scripts on the dropdown field (Not the Amount Due) as some forums recommended and nothing worked.

    I cant thank you enough!!
