I am adding several calculated fields to an extensive form that is a composite of other forms. Some of these fields perform correctly, but others stop calculating and won't work until I go in and change the names of the fields. The problem seems to be specific to one area of this large form. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sid Kemp

Always check the "Calculation Order" of your form fields. When an expected field is not updated or updates from a previous entry, there is a problem with the order the fields are being calculated in. This applies forms created in either Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer. See the help file in the respective products for inforamtion as to how the check and change the calculation order of form fields.
