Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service
Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Phenix City, Alabama 36869Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

DAX - Need help with TotalYTD calculation with Rolling 12 Months (Fiscal Months)
These are the tables I currently have in my solution:
DimDate - date dimension - our fiscal periods don't match with calendar periods
Fact Claims - ID, Date, Doc#, Amount, ProductKey
DimDateR12 - fiscal periods with max and min calendar dates - using DatesAdd gave me error because of contiguous dates error, so ended up using this.
Here are the calculations -
Issue Count = Distinct count of Products where (Sum of amount >= 1000 and count of claims >= 5) in last 12 fiscal periods - I am using summarize function here.
I need to add another calculation where I need to count issues resolved.
Issues resolved = Distinct count of products, where Rolling 12 Claims Amount >= 1000 and claim count >= 5 in the previous fiscal period) and Current fiscal period, NOT(Rolling 12 Claims Amount >= 1000 AND claim count >= 5) - this needs
to be a cumulative calculation.
I got Issues Resolved Calculation to work with summarize function, but using TotalYTD (using Fiscal Date key) to get cumulative number, is not working. Here is my calculation - TotalYTD([Count of Issues Resolved],DimDateR12[FiscalDate])
I tried using All(DimDateR12) filter, but didn't work.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
SonalThese are the calculations I am currently using -
Rolling12ClaimCount:=CALCULATE(FactClaim[ClaimCount],FILTER(DimDate,AND(DimDate[Calendar Date] >= Min(DimDateR12[StartDate]),DimDate[Calendar Date] <= Max(DimDateR12[EndDate]))))
Rolling12ClaimAmount:=CALCULATE(FactClaim[ClaimAmount],FILTER(DimDate,AND(DimDate[Calendar Date] >= Min(DimDateR12[StartDate]),DimDate[Calendar Date] <= Max(DimDateR12[EndDate]))))
IsCurrentIssue:=IF(([Rolling12ClaimAmount] >= 1000) && ([Rolling12ClaimCount] >= 5),TRUE(),FALSE())(([Rolling12ClaimAmount] >= 1000) && ([Rolling12ClaimCount] >= 5),TRUE(),FALSE())
WasWarrantyIssue:=IF(([PrevFiscalPeriodRolling12ClaimAmount] >= 1000) && ([PrevFiscalPeriodRolling12ClaimCount] >= 5),TRUE(),FALSE())
Resolvedissues:=IF(AND([IsWarrantyIssue]=FALSE(),[WasWarrantyIssue]=TRUE()),1,0)
Rolling12IssuesResolved:=SUMX(SUMMARIZE(FactClaim,FactClaim[ProductKey],"ResolvedIssueCount",[Resolvedissues]),[ResolvedIssueCount])
YTDResolvedIssues:=TotalYTD([Rolling12IssuesResolved],DimDateR12[FiscalDate])
-- Fiscal Date is <Fiscal Period>/1/<Fiscal year>
Thanks,

Need help with a calculated column - is there any way to reference a value in the current row?
Hey guys,
I'm a bit of a DAX newbie, and I'm running into a block. I'm creating a Power View report about IT tickets. We are going to be creating a cube to automate the data soon, I'm currently working with a flat Excel Data Table of data to demonstrate the Power
View reporting capabilities to the team. I need the default display to show the top 4-5 items basked on the Ticket Count. The three applicable columns I'm using are the TicketID, the ContactReason, and the AssetCategory - all three are
text. One slide will show the top five Contact Reasons by Ticket Count, and the other will show the top five Categories by Ticket Count. The users will see this default view, but will be able to change it to see differently ranked items or can clear the
ranking slicer altogether.
What I've accomplished so far is to create the Calculated Field [Ticket Count] = COUNTA(Table1[TicketID])
And 2 other calculated fields:
[Contact Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[ContactReason]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
[Asset Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[AssetCategory]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
If I were creating a Pivot Table, this would be great. These fields calculate everything the right way. The problem is, I need to have a Rank slicer on each slide and the calculation by itself contains no data - with no data, there's nothing to slice. I
realized I need to actually have columns of data so I can create a slicer. I need each row of the table to show the same [Contact Rank] for every instance of a particular ContactReason (and the same for the [Asset Rank] and AssetCategory).
The RANKX formulas pasted into the Calculated Column section only show a value of 1 - with no Pivot table summarizing the fields, it's counting each row's ticket once, giving every line the tied Rank of #1.
I've solved the problem in Excel by creating 2 Pivot Tables on a separate sheet that have the data field and the calculated field for ContactRason and AssetCategory. Then on my Excel Data Table, I've added two columns that do a VLOOKUP and pull over a the
Calculated Rank from each Pivot Table that match the ContactReason and AssetCategory fields. This works on the flat Excel Data Table now, but will not be a solutions when we start pulling the data from the cube (and there is no flat table).
What I think I need is an Expression for the RANKX formula that can give me, for each row, the count of all of the times a ContactReason shows up in an entire column. There's only about 100,000 lines of data and each ContactReason or AssetCategory
may show up several thousand times. But if I can get the expression to return that count, then the RANKX formula should work in the Column. If it wasn't a DAX formula, I'd use a COUNTIF and say 'Count the entire ContactReason column anytime it's equal to the
ContactReason on THIS row', but in DAX I don't know how to reference a single value in a row. I've tried the CALCULATE() formula, but it seems like the filter needs a specific value, and doesn't work on a dynamic "cell" value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I hope it all makes sense!)If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
=
RANKX(
ALL(Table1),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(table1),
ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
DENSE
If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

Michael Amadi

Need Help With Custom Calculation Script
Hey everyone. I'm using Acrobat Pro X and stumbling a bit on the syntax for the following equation. I need to add the value of "Cell1" & "Cell2" then add the value of "Cell3". However,the value of "Cell3" is entered by the user and specifies a percentage of the sum of "Cell1 & "Cell2". For example: If the user enters "3" into "Cell3" I need the returned value to be 3% of the sum of "Cell1" + "Cell2". If the user enters "9" into "Cell3" I need the returned value for "Cell3" to be 9% of the sum of "Cell1 & Cell2" and the end result needs to be the sum of "Cell1+Cell2+Cell3". In greater detail:
If "Cell1" = $500, "Cell2" = $500 and "Cell3" = "3" then I need the returned value to be $1030.00.
I hope this makes sense. Here's what I have so far but alas, it's not working. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
// Get first field value, as a number
var v1 = +getField("Cell1").value;
// Get second field value, as a number
var v2 = +getField("Cell2").value;
// Get processing field value, as a number
//var v3 = +getField("Cell3"/100).value;
// Calculate and set this field's value to the result
event.value = v3+(v1+v2);
Thanks,
SolanI posted an answer but realized it wasn't what you wanted. There is some confusion about what you want for Cell3. On the one hand, you say you want the user to enter a vaule in the field, but them you say you want its value to be calculated based on what the user enters and two other field values. It seems to me Cell3 should be the field that the user enters the percentage and the calculated field's (Cell4) script could then be:
// Get first field value, as a number
var v1 = +getField("Cell1").value;
// Get second field value, as a number
var v2 = +getField("Cell2").value;// Get processing field value, as a number
// Get the percentage
var v3 = +getField("Cell3").value;
// Calculate and set this field's value to the result
event.value = (1 + v3 / 100) * (v1 + v2); -
Need help with an Aforge and windows forms memory stack-up issue
Hello,
I am experiencing a strange memory stack-up in my c# windows form program that occurs all the time on slow PCs, and when the windows form loses focus or is otherwise interrupted on faster PCs.
The program I have written uses Aforge to get images from my webcam, which I then display in an Aforge picturebox control (CurrImagePic in code) in the windows form. The images are switched into the picture box and then disposed at the camera's native
framerate, so it appears as video to the user, not still images. The picture box is 1080x1920, but the space for it in the form is smaller and so I allow the user to scroll around the picture.
After about ~30 seconds of memory-stable operation on slower PCs, the problem begins. On faster PCs, the problem only occurs when holding down scroll bar arrows or clicking and dragging around either scroll bar, and if I lock the PC or bring up the
Ctrl+Alt+Delete menu.
The problem itself is that memory used by the program starts to increase in very large chunks, leading to an out of memory crash. This is unstoppable on slower PCs, but on the faster PCs if you stop scrolling or return from the lock/Ctrl+alt+delete
menu, the program stabilizes at the higher memory usage level. The memory that was accrued during scrolling or while in the lock menu is never collected by the garbage collector. I've even tried to put in a button that forces a GC.collect() when
pressed, and it does not reduce this memory usage.
I've run perfmon and found that the memory increase is on the unmanaged heap, but I don't know if it's coming from bitmaps which are not being disposed or what it could be from. It's been impossible to track down since it does not occur except in the
above conditions. I've tried various solutions (like moving my image processing out of the event handler and even using both global flags and a "lock" statement to try and ensure that only one thread or frame can access the image processing
and displaying method at at time, but I have seen no change. In fact, I am now seeing some unexplained small jumps in memory usage that I wasn't seeing before I put in the lock and moved the processing out of the handler.
Has anyone run into situations like this? I am at a loss for what I need to fix. I think the problem is based around my Aforge event handler and image processing method if it is in my code at all - but I also have a suspicion that this is something
deeper in the windows form code that I am either misusing or that can't keep up with the demands of my code. Code below:
//Applicable Globals to this code snippet
private bool ALLOWFRAME = true;
private Object FRAMEKEY = new Object();
private VideoCaptureDevice COMPVID;
private Bitmap TMPLTCAP;
private System.Drawing.Image OLDIMAGE;
private bool RCRDPIC = false;
private void COMPVID_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
//Only process a frame when another is done processing
if (ALLOWFRAME == true)
ALLOWFRAME = false;
Bitmap PassFrame = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(eventArgs.Frame);
ProcessFrame(PassFrame);
PassFrame.Dispose();
private void ProcessFrame(Bitmap frameIn)
lock (FRAMEKEY)
if (OLDIMAGE != null) { OLDIMAGE.Dispose(); }
//Call comparison method if flag is set.
if (COMPON == true)
Difference TmpltFilter = new Difference(TMPLTCAP);
TmpltFilter.ApplyInPlace(frameIn);
OLDIMAGE = CurrImagePic.Image;
CurrImagePic.Image = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(frameIn);
OLDIMAGE.Dispose();
else
OLDIMAGE = CurrImagePic.Image;
CurrImagePic.Image = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(frameIn);
OLDIMAGE.Dispose();
//Toggle the flag back to false to show it's safe (i.e., comparisons have stopped)
//for the result-recording method to copy from the picture box if it is attempting to copy
if (RCRDPIC == true)
RCRDPIC = false;
ALLOWFRAME = true;As you are using third party tools and controls, and I cannot find posts on parallel cases using native VS controls, have you asked in the Aforge forums about your memory issue?

Need help with Apex 4.0 tabular form and searchable select list
I would like to use an exisiting plugin for a searchable combo box on a tabular form. When I define the item types on my tabular form I don't see the plugin as an option. I reviewed the help documentation for the apex_item api for the tabular form but I didn't see how I could reference the plugin. Has anyone done this or have other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I noticed this problem in the first beta version but I thought this is so obvious and it will be corrected so I didn't follow on it further. This looks like a bug in 4.0. If I use firebug, I will see that the selected value is still RESEARCH allthough the display changes - <option selected="selected" value="20">RESEARCH</option> If I click on SAVE than wrong values will be changed.

So what would the action be to make sure it comes up IF the form goes thru? Is this something you can do for the person I do the forms for? -
Need help with calculator project for an assignment...
Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

Your help will be much appreciated.

Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name. -
Need help with PHP contact form
Hi guys,
I've made a PHP contact form for my site and need help with a couple of things:
The form action links an external PHP script (scripts/contact-form-script.php) but is there a way I can have it so the PHP script for the form is contained within the same PHP file as my contact form (contact.php)?
I tried just putting the form code at the top of contact.php but the browser automatically reads the anti-spam re-direct, so maybe that needs revising too?
The second thing is, how can I make the Name, Email and Message fields mandatory? So if a user tries to submit the form and hasn't filled in one of the required fields and clicks submit, contact.php reloads with a message at the top of the form saying something like 'Complete the required fields' and highlights the relevant field with a red border?
Here's the code for contact.php:
<form action="http://www.mydomain.com/scripts/contact-form-script.php" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">
<p><strong>Name:*</strong><br />
<input name="name" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>E-mail:*</strong><br />
<input name="email" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Telephone:</strong><br />
<input name="telephone" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Company:</strong><br />
<input name="company" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Address:</strong><br />
<input name="address1" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><input name="address2" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Town:</strong><br />
<input name="town" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>County:</strong><br />
<input name="county" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
p><strong>Postcode:</strong><br />
<input name="postcode" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Message:*</strong><br />
<textarea name="message" cols="55" rows="8" class="ctextField"></textarea></p>
<p><input name="submit" value="SEND MESSAGE" class="submitButton" type="submit" /><div style="visibility:hidden; width:1px; height:1px"><input name="url" type="text" size="45" id="url" /></div></p>

Need help with reviewing in acrobat professional 8.0
Hi,
I need help with reviewing in adobe acrobat professional 8.0 for windows.
When I click in Edit->Preferences->Reviewing I choose Network folder and in browse button I select the network folder.
It´s ok, but when I restart the computer, the configuration of reviewing dissapear.
Any sugestion for solve this problem?The closest I came was:
// Custom calculation script
(function () {
// Get the field values, as strings
var s1 = getField("Charged").valueAsString;
var s2 = getField("Reduction").valueAsString;
// Perform the calculation if both fields are not blank
// and Charged is not zero
if (s1 && s2 && +s1 !== 0) {
event.value = 100 * (+s1 - +s2) / +s1;
} else {
event.value = "";
which I got from another thread. It works, but the result tends to have a - before the number. Also when I use the formatting in acrobat and select percentage the decimal placement gets confusing. I'm creating this form for a bunch of morons in my HR department so extraneous numbers makes them confused. I need the most simplified result possible. -
Need Assistance With Custom Calculation Script
I need help with a custom calculation script in Acrobat Pro. I am trying to add the sum of fields A, B, C, D, E, F, and G together with the lesser value of fields H and I. What would be the script to enter for this result? Thank you.
event.value = Number(this.getField("A").value) + Number(this.getField("B").value) + Number(this.getField("C").value) + Number(this.getField("D").value) + Number(this.getField("E").value) + Number(this.getField("F").value) + Number(this.getField("G").value) + Math.min(Number(this.getField("H").value), Number(this.getField("I").value));

Help with Javascript/Calculations
Hello,
Have a building use policy for school.
Need help with checkboxes and default values. I can get javascript/math to work when I click check box.
Someone wants to rent a room they check the rentRoom checkbox. Then the enter how many rooms 1,2,3 etc.. The value for the rentRoom checkbox is $25.
I can get it when the checkbox for rentRoom is selected the rentRoom.Total computes correctly. However, what I want is when the form opens up a default value of $0.00 to be in there. I also want if someone goes back and unchecks the rentRoom checkbox the value goes back to $0.00 not just blank. Right now I am getting the error the value entered does not match the value of the field. That is if I put the default value in options. Basically, I can't seem to figure out the javascript code to get this to work.
Am I asking for too much, can someone guide me to javascript to help me out.
I have tried if/then statements and switch statements. I just can't figure out how to get it to for lack of better a word - toggle back and forth.
If this is not possible please tell me. If it is too complicated tell me. I am not using livecycle for this as we had a word document and I just used the find form fields. I am also using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
ThanksHello,
Thanks that looks good. I am still missing something but the calc doesn't work when I put in my variables. I will work with it more but nothing happens.
The one thing is I have the default value of the checkbox as 15 so don't know if that messes it up.
Right now I get the default value of $0.00 all the time. When I click on the check box on/off it doesn't do the calcs.
sorry, any more input, what am i missing??
I also changed the syntax error that was posted on your origianl post. You had == 'Off" I changed that to 'Off' -
