I am having the hardest time understanding the SUM script in FormCalc. I want to total some fields and cannot get them to calculate right.

I have tried several variations in the sum script and even tried a table.

HELP!

You have to provide the field names or values as a parameter and this may require the full accessor path name for the fields maybe necessary. You also have to use the "Sum()" function not the "SUM()" function, correct spelling and capitalization are mandatory.

This is the document, form, subform, event, etc from the XML hierarchy structure. The exact syntax depends upon using FormCalc or JavaScript. See the "Scripting reference" for more detailed information about this concept.
