Creating a Custom Pop-up Message?

Question

I would like to create a custom pop-up message for a form.  What I'm looking for is when the user types in a series of numbers and if the total is under 650,000 a pop-up message will appear explaining what to do next and then the user clicks okay and the box disappears.  Thanks in advance for any help.

For the messageBox method see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/designerHelp/index.htm?content=001368.html
The attached contains the following logic on the calculate event on the field 'total'
// form1.page1.subform1.total::calculate - (JavaScript, client)
if (form1.page1.subform1.nf1.isNull || form1.page1.subform1.nf2.isNull || form1.page1.subform1.nf3.isNull || form1.page1.subform1.nf4.isNull) {
  this.rawValue = null;
else {
  var total_ = form1.page1.subform1.nf1.rawValue +
      form1.page1.subform1.nf2.rawValue +
      form1.page1.subform1.nf3.rawValue +
      form1.page1.subform1.nf4.rawValue;
  if (total_ < 650000) {
    xfa.host.messageBox("The total must be 650,000 or greater. Please review...","Total LT 650,000",1);
  this.rawValue = total_;
The code assumes that fields n1 - nf4 are mandatory. If you need to do the validation prior to an action such as print or save, you will need additional logic to force the calculate to fire.
