Custom Calculation question

There's nothing unusual about the calculation you want to do. It's called a "Conditional Calculation". There are some rules for writing calculation scripts. Take a look at these web pages:

For your script you'll need to use an "if" statement.

For example:

var val1 = this.getField("Text15").value
if(val1 >= 3.75)
event.value = 3;

Thomp - you are my hero. :)

Thanks for the help and referral. How do i denote a range, i.e. 3.50-3.74 = 2?

Do I add them within the same script line?

Thanks Again, Keith

For a range you'd use a compound "if" like this:

if( (val1 > 3.5) && (val1 <= 3.74) )
event.value = 2;
