Please help!!!

I have created a form that I need to implement an If Then statement.

If Field A < 0 then Field BB show the content of Field A
If Field A > 0 then Field CC show the content of Field A
If Field A = 0 then Field A, BB, CC show 0

I am new, please help.

Thanks in advance for great help.

Field BB custom calc:
a = this.getField("A").valueif (a<=0) {event.value=a;} else event.value = "":

Field CC custom calc:
a = this.getField("A").valueif (a>=0) {event.value = a} else event.value="";

(I've added to the script something that you didn't mention, clearing the fields when the other one is used. I assume that's what you meant to do.)

Thank you Sir. Thank you for the quick answering.

I tried. Here is the result:

FieldBB: it showed me some error. "SyntaxError: invalid label, 4: at line 5
FieldCC: it took the script, but it won't change anything

Please let me know where I did wrong.

You will need to change the name of field A, depending on how you named it.

Please let me know why the IF calculating result is not show after entering numbers. (return key for click anywhere won't let IF result shown) It only shows when a zero added to any blank field.
