Hi,

I am currently creating a form that includes a table and calculations. I pretty much have to sum and average at the bottom from the data in the table. In the initial run, the sums and averages worked perfectly. However, when I test and change values, the summation will not update according to my changes.

I am also having this problem in my division scripts. Any help as to why the script will not update when I change a referenced field would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Have you checked the field calculation order?

And you have you added a conditional test so that you are not dividing by zero?

gkaiseril! Just the man I have been looking for. I was not aware of the field calculation order until after I posted.

The sum is connected to another field in which I do carry out another calculation. I will be sure to set the order when I arrive into work tomorrow.

Yes I also have a conditional test that checks to make sure I do not divide by zero. In fact, I found it on this forum and I believe it was you who helped. Thank you.
