I am looking to use a check box to show or hide a field.  The only thing is when the check box is checked i want a field to be filled with a calculated number.  But when the check box is unchecked i want it to fill with a 0.  Is this possible?  Thanks in advance

    Sure. As the custom calculation script of the field you can use something like this:

     

    if (this.getField("Checkbox1").valueAsString=="Off") event.value = 0;

    else event.value = ... ;

     

    Replace "Checkbox1" with the actual name of the field and "..." with the actual calculation you want to use.

      So I am very new to this and I am still having an issue.  What i have is below:

      I am trying to have the drop down fill in the FET line next to it with either a zero or a calculation depending on what is selected from the drop down menu (2 options).

       

      Thanks in advacne for your help!

        You need to provide more details: What values? What options? What calculation? What are the field names?

        Also, read these tutorials:
