Subtraction in Simplified Notation keeps subtracting when inputting other field

[Jeka36435325dife]

I used a simplified notation:

Field 1= E17-K19

Field 2= K19

Field 3= E21-K23

Field 4= K23

and when I input all the other fields, Field 1 and Field 3 just keeps subtracting from the amount minus from fields 2 & 4 respectively. How can I stop them from subtracting repetitively while I input data from other fields? I just want them to subtract once. Is there a problem on my set calculation order?

Please help me. Thank you! Adobe acrobat

Looks like your other issue.

You need to provide complete information when posting questions. 

In this case, how are Field 1-3 related to the "E" and "K" fields?  

[Jeka36435325dife]

E17=   -> (in Simplified Notation) E17-K19 

K19=  ->K19

E21=  -> (in Simplified Notation) E21-K23

K23=  -> K23

I am sorry for the confusion.

Yes, there is a huge problem with the calculations.  

Lets walk through the sequence of actions for the E17 calculations.

1. User enters the value 3 into K19.

2. This triggers the calculation script on E17.

3. At this point lets say that E17 is 0, so the result is -3. 

4. Now the user clicks on a checkbox somewhere else on the form.

5. This also triggers the calculation script on E17.

6. Since E17 is -3, the new result is -6.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 everytime any field on the form is changed.
