I am trying to create a script that will populate a value from one text box to another when a check box is checked, and delete the value (or change to 0)when it is unchecked.

Text Box 1 = Text Box 2 when Check Box is checked, else Text Box 2 = 0.

Thanks for any help!

Well, assuming that the fields are named "TextBox1" and "TextBox2", and you are using an AcroForm, as opposed to a LiveCycle (XFA) form. The code on the check boxes MouseUp event could look something like this:
if(event.target.isBoxChecked(0))this.getField("TextBox1").value =  this.getField("TextBox2").value;elsethis.getField("TextBox1").value =  0;
