I'm trying to figure out how to add a calculation to two Radio Buttons that I have in a form I've created in livecycle designer. If the person clicks "Yes", I want that the price of the seminar ($100.00) and the membership fee ($25.00) to be totaled in the Total to Pay field. If the person clicks "No", then it should only sum $150.00 in the Total to Pay field.

I really hope the explanation is clear and that somebody could help me with this. I've been doing this for days and still can't figure out what to do.

Thanks!

First, the calculation is not added to the Radio button. The radio buttons are used in the calculation script for the target value.
Read this article:

A Radio button group has a value for each button in the group. All you need to do is base the conditional in your calculation script on this radio button group value.
