How can I validate an amount, so that in the moment that the this amount exceeds the value of 100 , the respective field displays an error message.
Example:
field1+field2+filed3+field4= <100 display the value
field1+field2+filed3+field4= >100 display the error message

You can use the following FormCalc in the "Validation" action:

if($.rawValue <= 100 or $.rawValue eq null) then// less than or equal to 1001else// greater than 1000xfa.host.messageBox("Can not exceed 100")endif

or include the test and message in the "Calculation action.

Its ok, but I would like the error message to appear in the field, not as pop-up.

Thanks!

Compute the sum and then use the 'if' statement to test if the value is greater than 100.
