the value entered does not match the format of the field

Hello!

i have below script for calculating total months of seafarers voyages. It calculates correctly BUT i get the "the value entered does not match the format of the field" error wherever in the form i try to input data.

event.value = "";
var cBegin = new Date(this.getField("SIGN ONRow1").valueAsString);
var cEnd = new Date(this.getField("SIGN OFFRow1").valueAsString);

var nDiffMonths = (cEnd.getDate() - cBegin.getDate()) / 30 +
cEnd.getMonth() - cBegin.getMonth() +
(12 * (cEnd.getFullYear() - cBegin.getFullYear()));
// set field value;
event.value = nDiffMonths;

Any suggestions please?

What format does you use? What happens when you change the format to "None".

same thing with forma to "None"

I am not very familiar with Java but i understand that i need to add another option to my script?

Info: Acrobat uses Javascript, not Java.

May be that you get the message at a other field.

Do you get alert when try to enter date in field?

If yes, check if field is formated to date and make sure you enter date correctly.

The format of the field is date. The problem is not in the format, the error i get is when i try to input data on every single field on the form even if it is unrelated with the calculation field.

Can you share your file?

The popup displays the name of the field with the format error.
