Manually edit calculation result

[yeungyam]

I have a form that I want to be able to manually change the answer to the calculation. The objective is to accept a calculated value unless the user enters a different value in the calculated field. The calculated value will usually be the value desired, but not always.

I have almost been able to achieve that by using multiple fields (as I only have basic knowledge of javascript), but there is just one problem where a value only appears one keystroke later. I am not even sure why as the other field is fine.

I have attached the form for help: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11052710/Adobe%20Acrobat/Overriding%20LVEF.pdf

Not having verified with the linked form, but the symptom of being "one step behind" usually means that the Calculation Order is not correct. Essentially, there is a field whose calculation depends on the result of another field, but that field's calculations are one after the one of the first field.

Hope this can help.
