In our form, we have a check box. If the box is checked, we want to run a calculation in another field.
 

if (NeedTuit=1) then
	TuitionTuitionBalance * .5;
endif

 
the checkbox is NeedTuit -- why won't it calculate in my field?

"=" is the set operator and not the equality operator.

You need to use "==" or "eq" in LiveCycle Designer FormCalc.

If you created the form in Acrobat you can not use the FormCalc syntax, you need to use the Acrobat JavaScript syntax.
