Okay. I'm lost. I need to know how to calculate the number of payments field. I have a total amount of the contract field which is calculating correctly. I want to calculate the number of payments based on the start date of their monthly payments. I set the date field to values but have not figured out how to do what I'm trying to do.
 
If ....
Payment date starts Aug. 1st then their payments would be 10, Sep. 1st then payments would be 9, Oct. 1st would be 8, etc
 
I have the following fields;
 
RecTotal[0]
RecStartDate[0]
Payments[0]
RecMonthly[0]
 
Your help is greatly appreciated!

When asking a very technical question you need to be short and explicit about your setup, what you want to do and what forms technology you are using.

It sounds like you need to do date calculations. This article will tell you everything you need to know about using dates in calculations.

as far as "very technical" ....???

LOL I'm designing the forms using Adobe Designer 7.0 and I thought I explained what it is I'm trying to do. What am I missing?
