The languaqge and syntax are very dependent upon which procut you are using to create the form.

In Acrobat forms, AcroForm, created with the "Form Fields" tool you need to use the "this.getField(cFieldName).value" to get the value of a field.

In LiveCycle Desinger using FormCalc you can just use the field names, but if you use JavaScript you will need to reference the value proptery. But in either case depending upon form design, you may need to provide the full field accessor qualifier. LiveCycle Desinger provides some scripting reference under the "Help" menu option.

There are also vedio tutorials for both types of forms on the home page of this site.
