I've watched the examples videos, read the help files, and read the forums, but am still not succeeding in showing the total of 4 numeric fields in a 5th field.

Here's what I've got:
* A single page form
* Four Numeric fields named Labor, Material, SubK, and ODC.
* The default value of each field is zero.
* No issues entering and saving data into the fields (as validated by exporting to a xml file)
* Fifth numeric field named Total, who value is set to Calculated Read Only
* Using FormCalc, the script is
Total.rawValue = Labor.rawValue + Material.rawValue + SubK.rawValue + ODC.rawValue;

*Using the xml file in the Form Properties -> Preview tab, the correct value is calculated into the Total field when previewing the PDF.

Yet when I make the PDF (static) form, entering values into any of the 4 numeric fields does not yield a result in the Total field.

I even went so far as to copy the script into nearly every event.

Any thoughts?

I had tried that before and made the change, but still not working.

Now overnight as a separate issue, the Preview PDF funtionality is greyed out and not accessible. I've discovered IT pushed out an Acrobat Reader update overnight...

So since dynamic is not fixing it, any other thoughts?

This is really killing me, but now the calculations are working in the PDF in both Acrobat and Reader.
I've no idea what changed (Sigh)
