Hi, I would like to set up an error message to pop up if two columns do not have a matching total in an Adobe form.
 
If reimbursementamt <> acctpay then "Please recheck your entries" It is set up in Acrobat form tools. I would be great if it only came up once both fields are populated. .

Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

Which application did you use to create the form, Acrobat form tools or LiveCycle Designer?

They both have a location for validation scripts. Do you always want this to fire, including when entry is made into one field and not the other.

You will need to create an if then statement to test and compare the values of the fields.
