How do I get a total number of check boxes?

They are named:

Check Box 1.0 - 1.9

Check Box 2.0 - 2.9

Check Box 3.0 - 3.9

Check Box 4.0 - 4.9

Check Box 5.0 - 5.9

In that case you can use this code as the custom calculation script of the field where you want to show the result:

var total = 0;
for (var i=1; i<=5; i++) {
	var fields = this.getField("Check Box "+i).getArray();
	for (var j in fields) {
		if (fields[j].valueAsString!="Off") total++;
	}
}
event.value = total;

I'm assuming you mean the ticked check-boxes... If not, the answer is 50.
