Hi,

I have an order form that requires one of the fields to be a percentage of the preceding sub total field in dollar amounts

for example

text12 = 25% of text11

or

sub total = $100.00
-25% deposit = ?????

how do I get that field to calculate a percentage of the sub total field?

Any help would be great

Ok I figured that one out with some help from the forum. sorry to waste anyone time but ...

another question ...

now that i have the 25% deposit I would like to add Postage in one field and Packing in another field and get a total (which I can do) but then subtract that from the subtotal to give me a balance remaining eg

sub total = 100
- 25% deposit = $25.00
+ freight $8.00
+ packing $5.00
Total equals = $38.00
Balance remaining + ??????

once again any help appreciated.

Chris

What are the names of your fields? If it's just Total and SubTotal, use the simple notation calculation and enter:
SubTotal - Total
