Numeric field value based on radio button

The value of a radio button is given by it's export value. Take a look on the "Binding" tab of "Object" data for the radio button group. At the bottom of this tab you can change the export value for a particular button. Then, on the "MouseUp" event for the radion button, add this code

MyTextField.rawValue = this.rawValue;

Hope that helps,

Hi

Thank you for your help. But I think I didn't describe my problem in a good way.

I created a form with a series of yes/no questions so that my coworker can fill it up faster than before. The last page is a resume of all the questions but with points awarded for each questions depending on whether he answered yes or no. For now, he has to answer all the questions and then he awards the points at the end.

What I'd like to do is eliminate the part where he awards point at the end. I'd like to do it automatically when he answers the questions. In the end, everytime he answered yes, 5 points are awarded on the last page, if he ansered no, no points are awarded. In the end, when he answered all the questions, the resume of all the points is already done.

My problem is that I can't find a way to do that with radio buttons.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Is this what you are trying to accomplish?

I have multiple choice questions where I want the person filling out the form to be able to select one choice and one choice only, so i did the radio button option for each question on my form, but is there a way to actually assign numerical values to each of the multiple choice options where they can then be summed up to give me a total at the end.

There is an option to assign a numeric export value in both AcroForms and LiveCycle Designer. Live Cycle Designer also has a numeric value for exclusionary groups of radio buttons when no item is selected but AcroFroms assigns the value of "Off".

You should be able to use the forums search for "sum radio" and find a number of posts about this topic.

Thank you very much for your help. I finally found it and so simple:

Javascript
Calculate
this.rawValue = TopmostSubform.Page4.Groupe_de_boutons_radio_1_6_2.rawValue

Thank you again for your support even though I wasn't very clear about what I wanted.
