Do you have the "calculate on exit" option turned on for each form
field that you use to enter values?

Thank you very much for the help. Your suggestion worked, but now it
no longer auto sums the data when it is typed in.

Put a number picture switch in your formula field.

e.g., { = Sum(Above) \# "#.00;(#.00);"

The characters before the firsrt ";" sets the format for positive
values, the second
set of is for negative values, the "nothing" after the last ";"
formats 0 as nothing.

I have created a form with tables and form fields so that users
can enter their data by typing it in. The form can also be filled
in manually.

At the bottom of the form I have a table w/ 4 colums for various
fees. The Auto Sum formula works great.

Here is the problem: 50% of the people who will use my form will
simply print it out and fill it in by hand. They will not be
filling out electronically.

When I print my form, the cells for "Total Fees" automatically
populate "$0.00". No data has been entered in the table and my
guess is that the formula thinks that "$0.00" has been input into
these fields.

How do I make it so that the auto sum formula does not execute
unless someone enters data into the form fields w/in the table?
