Acrobat Form Calcuations

Guest

I have a general question regarding form calculations.  Is it possible to use the product of one calculated field as a variable in another?  Thank You in advance.

Yes, of course. You can include the value of any field in your calculations.

I do not think I explained that correctly. my form starts with 4 fields left blank for the user to populate.  When the user enters the fourth value into the field, the calculation is correct in the fifth field.  However, if I try to use that field that I have the calculated value in as the variable in my next calculations - the results do not work.

It sounds like it could be a fields calculation order issue, but hard to say without seeing the actual file.
