Try looking around the forums a bit. Similar scripts and links to reference files have been posted in many places. For example: http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=26722

Are you using Acrobat crated forms or LiveCycle Designer created forms?

The 2 programs are capable of creating forms but the language to script in each product is different and not interchangeable.

If you used Acrobat, see [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/conditional-execution]Conditional Execution[/url] by Thom Parker

Besides the 'if' statement JavaScript also has the 'switch' statement, which may be clearer as to what is going on and can be easier to maintain if the values of the comparison change.

Assuming you are using Acrobat forms, the quantity field name is 'QTY' and the calculation is the custom JavaScript calculation is for the shipping cost field:
// using the value of the QTY fieldvar nQty = this.getField('QTY').valueswitch(true) {// take the following action when the case value is met// quantity is 0case (nQty == 0)event.value = '';break; // quantity is 1case (nQty == 1) :event.value = 1.5;break; // quantity is between 2 and 10case (nQty >= 2 and nQty =< 10):event.value = 6.5;break; // quantity is between 11 and 25case (nQty >= 11 and nQty =< 25):event.value = 8.5;break; // quantity is between 26 and 75case (nQty >= 26 and nQty =< 75):event.value = 10;break; // quantity is between 76 and 100case (nQty >= 76 and nQty =< 100):event.value = 12.5;break; // quantity is over 100default:var sMsg = 'Quantity ordered is over 100 items\n';sMsg += 'Please contact customer service at 1-800-555-1212\n'sMsg += 'for the shipping cost.\n\n'sMsg += 'Thank You';app.alert(sMsg, 2, 0);event.value = '';break;} // end of determining shipping cost
