Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this script?

var a = this.getField("201").value;
var b = this.getField("200").value;
var c = this.getField("213").value;
// compute the value
event.value = '';
if( c != 0) {
// perform only is b / c is not zero
event.value = b / c
}

Thanks!

Exactly in what field and location are you placing this code?
Are you getting any error messages?
Are you getting any messages on the JavaScirpt console?
What is not working?

What is not working? I get a different answer everytime. Once I move on to another field I get the right answer. I think it may be in the order the fields are calculating, but I have never had to set the order before. Does this make sense?

Sounds like the calculation order of the fields as set by Acrobat is not the order you want. You will have to "Edit => Edit form in Acorbat" "Edit => Form Fields => Set Field calculation order"

Thanks! I tried changing the tab order but that didn't help. It did work when I changed the field calculation order.
