I have a form with a checkbox at the begining of a line for selection if the practitioner wants to provide the item listed. If the checkbox is selected a calculation should be performed and displayed in a field contained within the line. Selecting the checkbox would activate a calculation (multiplication) that references another field (Weight) by a static number.

How do I cause this to happen (ie, linking the checkbox to activation and display of the calculation)?

In the calculation script for the fied, you need to add a logical test ("if" statment) to see if the check box is checked or not. The exact code and scripting langugage will depend upon if your are using Acrobat's Form Tool or LiveCycle Designer to create the form.
