I keep getting this error:

TFMC is not defined
1:Field:Calculate
TFMC is not defined
1:AcroForm:b12c96nfCHECKLIST_OPTIONS:Calculate

I have searched and checked every field on the form but I cannot find this field so I can delete it.

I am using Acrobat v8 Pro

Try looking to see if you used TFMC in a script somewhere. That is probably what is happening. It is being called from a script but since the field does not exist, you are getting this error. If you do find it, remove it from the script if you don't need it.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm assuming that the 4th line :
1:AcroForm:b12c96nfCHECKLIST_OPTIONS:Calculate
is referring to an actual field? If so, how do I find this field and delete it?

I think that TFMC is the field to be looking for. Since you said it does not exist on your form, then you will probably find it mentioned somewhere in the scripts. The script is trying to use the field and it can't find it, which is what "is not defined" means. The line " 1:AcroForm:b12c96nfCHECKLIST_OPTIONS:Calculate" refers to the location of a Calculate script. So I think it is saying the field where the script resides is on 1:AcroForm:b12c96nfCHECKLIST_OPTIONS in the Calculate event. If you do not find it in any scripts, I am not sure what else to tell you to try.

Gotcha. I'm rather new to this and sometimes what I think it should be is not what it's referring to. Thanks for your help.

It might not be a problem of the form field not being visible, but that the in custom calculation script of other calculation option there is a reference to this field in one of calculation options for the 'b12c96nfCHECKLIST_OPTIONS' field.

Can you post the script for the calculation?
