I have a calculation that fails validation. Didn't think necessary

I have a calculation in my form I'm creating that seems to want to validate and no matter what I try it fails. I'm using only basic calculations and creating a simple "invoice" type of form. Quan. * Price=Item total. Then at the end an Invoice Total= sum of all item totals. The Quan and Price are user input items and then the Item totals are calculated. When I switch to preview mode to check the calculations, the form will accept the first user input just fine but after inputting the second one it comes back with "Invoice Total validate failed". And then the same fail message for every user input attempt after that, even though all the calculations on the form are correct. I didn't think that it was necessary for a calculated value to validate but I'm a "Greenhorn" with this program, am I doing something wrong?

Help please!

Problem is your "Total" box on the bottom. Remove the box and test the form.
If all is good, add a new box with a unique name. Add the "sum" script and fire it off
