I'm trying to create a travel expenses sheet In LiveCycle Designer. One of the requirements is that i need the rows to total into the last column and then the last column to total down to the last cell. Is there an easy way to set that up. I'm not familiar with scripting and I'm hoping there is a simple way to select a cell and tell it what should be totaled in that cell.

IE. Select cell>tools>advanced...and so on.

thanks,

You are stuck with scripting if you use LCD. What I have done is after I have finished the form in LCD I save it as a static PDF. I then open the form in Acrobat using Acroforms. In Acrobat you have a simple command to sum a total in a field: Field properties-Calculate-Value is a sum

The problem you will have is if you need to go back edit this form in LCD your "sum" will not work and you will have to repeat the process in Acrobat. You will have to edit your form in Acrobat which may be limiting to you.
