I have two fields (# of students and # of adults) that I would like to have automatically added in a third field (total). I did a search on LiveCycle but it came back with some very confusing "code" type stuff. Is there an easy way to have this done?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, in livecycle calculations are done with scripts. If you make your forms in Acrobat instead, there are built-in calculations.

I would suggest that you search for and download "Livecycle Designer Scripting Basics". There is lots of help for learning the most common scripting uses and it has good examples. You may find FormCalc the easiest language to use for calculations. This document has a good section on this.

There is a scripting reference under LiveCycle Designer's "Help=>Scripting Reference". There are also tutorials and eSeminar's on demand at this site that explain and show how to make simple LIveCycle Froms and perform some basic calculations.
