Issue with totals calculating after user changes

[Christine350637008cup]

Hello,

I have set up the forms to tally correctly, but there seems to be an issue with the first number in particular totaling correctly. As far as I can tell, in the end everything calculates correctly, but while going through the process, it shows inaccurate information; especially if the user makes changes.

You have issue with field calculation order as you can see from the image, TotalPrep field calculates after Total, it should be above Total. Fields that calculate first should be at top.

To change field calculation order in old acrobat:
Select 'Prepare form' tool, click 'More' then 'Set field calculation order'.

In new Acrobat:
Select 'Prepare form' tool, click on the 3 dots (the ones where say 'fields') and select 'Set field calculation order'.

Thank you! That was exactly the fix I needed! 🙂

I do have one more question- When I select the Prepare Form tool and click on the 3 dots, I don't get the option to Set field calculation order.
