I've created a form where our technicians can select one of three boxes for courses they are required to take. Depending on the box they select a field will either populate with $0 or a specific dollar amount. I now want to add the fields with the dollar amounts and I can't get adobe to do that for me.

Here is the sample script I'm using based on something I found online: event.value=this.getField(“Text37”).value+this.getField(“Text38”).value;

It's not wrking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't use either - nothing stays in the boxes so it's impossible to use both at the same time. Here's a picture of what I've entered in the calculation script box and another showing that's disappeared after I click OK. Very frustrating!

Sounds like the file got corrupt. Did you at any point edit the scripts via the Edit All JavaScripts command?

Use this:

event.value=Number(this.getField("Text37").value)+Number(this.getField("Text38").value);

PS. Or you can simply use the built-in Sum command in the Calculate tab and then select Text37 and Text38 from the list...

You can't use both. Either one or the other.

And if you tried attaching a screenshot it didn't come through. Reply directly from the forum and use the Insert Image icon. Don't attach the image to an email.
