I have a relatively simple problem, but being new to designing forms...it's causing much frustration.

Basically, I have a field (FIELD_10) that has a simple calculation associated with it (FIELD_9 + 1) - For example, Field_10 is suppossed calclulate to add 1 (one) to Field_9 (for example, if field 9 calculates at 2714 - then field_10 should automatically become "2715".

The problem is that Field_10 does not automatically calculate when entering amounts. I have to manually enter zero (or any other key) in that field before it automatically calculates.

What am I not doing here? Please be precise as I am a "newbie"

In advance, thanks for your assistance!!!!

Those symptoms indicate the calculation order of the fields is in the wrong order. You will have to edit the form in Acrobat ("Edit => Edit form in Acrobat") and then edit the form fields ("Edit => Form fields => Set field calculation order").
