Hi Thom !
I'd like to know if there is a script that calculat the VAT from a texte field ??
 
Ex : We have an amount of : 20$ and VAT : 6%
The total amount should be = 20/100x6
 
Do you think it's possible ??

Of course this can be calculated. The best option is to use the Calculate event of the result field. Use a script like this.

event.value = 0.06 * this.getField("Amount").value;

be sure to use the correct field name for "Amount".
