Thanks for helping me first

I have a form, calculates include plus, multiples, if...than.., every calculation act fast except if..than. It only shows the result of the earlier entry.

In order to get correct result, after all data entered, I have to find any blank field, enter zero, hit enter, then it will show calculated result. (the result is correct). if no blank field, it will not show the finals.

Please help. It is annoying have to remember enter extra zero in a blank field to get final result.

Thanks in advance for help

Check the field calculation order. If that doesn't help, post your code here.

I have the following calculation that doesn't work after exiting the form and returning:

this.getField("201").value = this.getField("200").value / this.getField("213").value;

201 is formated as a percentage
200 is formated to a number
213 is formatted to sum two nubmers

When I exit the form and go back in to enter 0 in the number fields the percentage calculation does not work anymore, and I get formatting error messages. Can you help?

Division by 0 is a mathematical error.
