Hi ?B?VG9ueSBNY0d1aXJl?=,

i am trying to devise an invoice were set fees for set things are in
different dropdowns how can i get / creat a field that will addup the figures
in the last field to give me a total

1. Select each dropdown field, in turn, and assign it a bookmark name. (Yes, I
know the dropdowns have bookmark names, but they won't necessarily include the
ENTIRE field.)

2. Make sure "Calculate on Exit" is activated for each dropdown field

3. Immediately after each dropdown, insert a SET field that references the
bookmark. For example
{SET val1 "{REF Entry1}" }

4. Set up the last field as a text field with the type "Calculation". Add up the
SET fields:
= val1 + val2

5. Ctrl+A, F9 to make sure everything is updated to begin with.

6. Protect the document and test.
