Trying to find javascript or some sort of information on how to create a currency converter in Acrobat using forms. What do I mean?

I have two text fields. On the left is USD on the right JPY. I want to be able to enter a number into the USD field, have it multiply by a number and show the value in the JPY field. I then want to be able to enter a different number into the JPY field, have it multiply by number and change the value in the USD field.

My problem is that because there's a calculation in the USD field, I can't type anything into the JPY field and have it change the original USD field.

Hopefully I explained this well enough...

Any thoughts?

I don't think it can be done. If a field's value is calculated by another field then you can't enter it manually. It causes an error.
