Calculation

When entering amounts in my fields, Field A - Field B equals a calculated Field C. Then when I enter an amount into Field D, Field E calculates Field C - Field D. This works fine unless the amount I type into Field D is equal to the calculated amount in Field C. 1 cent in either direction it works fine but if they match I get an error message and it will not recalculate and put a 0. The error message states: "The value entered does not match the format of the field (Field E).

Help!

Thanks!

What is the "Format" selected for each of the fields?

What other settings have you made for these fields?

Do you have have any validation being applied?

Are there any other scripts being called by the form fields?

Are you using LiveCycle Designer?

This is the 1st form I've ever built with calculations and I'm not a code writer but there are no validations as far as I know. Field H adds F&G, K adds I&J, N adds L&M, Q adds O&P,T adds R&S and U adds E, H,K,N,Q,AND T.
No I'm not using LiveCycle.
