PLZ help, ned to subtract 2 fields that are precalculated

[Joe25492115gfhq]

I am new to JS and have searched and used every calculation I can to no avail. I need to

Subtract

Deposit (which is 50% of the project) from

JobDepositAmt-->(aka previous deposits)) where in some cases the

JobDepositAmt  may in fact be 0.

so if the job total is:

$100 and the client has already put down

$30, i need them to get to 50% down by paying

$20 more which would be the AmountDue

also note that Deposit is a field that already has a calculation of (JobGrandTotalAmt)*(.5)*(1000)

I tried simplified field as well as the custom script and it never returns. sometims it returns as 0, or it retuns with an error. Here is where i left off in the AmountDue field:

event.value=Number(this.getField("Deposit").value)-Number(this.getField("JobDepositAmt").value);

ive attached a photo for reference TIA!!

That script look ok. Can you share the actual file?

Well, the script works fine for me. Check that other scripts don't interfere with that field.
