I have had to convert an "OmniForm" form into an editable PDF using Lifecycle Designer(I am a definate beginner). I am trying to do what I think is a simple calculation (quantity {numeric field 1}x est unit price {numeric field 2}= est total price {numeric field 3}) but I can not figure out how to do it. Can you help?

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro for Macintosh. I created a pdf out of InDesign. I'm trying to make it an interactive/fillable pdf.
Field X
Field Y
Field Z
Field Z would be the result of Field Y being divided by Field X.
All three fields are formatted as a number, decimal places “2,” no currency symbol. Field values are not validated. For Field [Z] in the calculation, I checked “Simplified Field Notation” and entered: Y / X
Field [Z] would be a result of division [Y divided by X]. It calculates correctly, but pop up messages keep appearing all over the document when you try to enter information in other fields that say: The value entered does not match the format of the field [Z]. And then it pops you back to the page with that field on it [Z].
HELP! How can I rectify this problem?

You need to write a custom calculation script for this calculation.
Use zero or null as a divisor and what value do you expect to get?

Live Cycle Designer includes a set of example forms including an order form with this exact type calculation. Open Designer, click on the Explore Sample Forms in the initial splash screen, choose Purchase Order -> Dynamic Interactive ->Purchase Order.pdf
Once you have the form open you can examine the scripts used in each field by opening the Script window (Window ->Script Editor).Hope that helps,
