Calculations in form fields
I'm still working on the forms, and now I need to know how to make a form do
math. This is a payroll form, and the user has to enter regular hours worked each day, and then they have to total up for a week. I know how to make tables without form fields do math - what I need is a form field that will do math, that can be inserted into a table. Any answers? |

Hi ?B?S2F0aHlITA==?=,
I'm still working on the forms, and now I need to know how to make a form do math. This is a payroll form, and the user has to enter regular hours worked each day, and then they have to total up for a week. I know how to make tables without form fields do math - what I need is a form field that will do math, that can be inserted into a table. Form fields basically do math the same way as other fields you insert into a table. You can set the field type to "Number" and then choose a numerical format. You can set the field type to "calculation" and enter an equation (top right box in the Options dialog box). You want to activate "Calculate on exit" for all fields containing input for a calculation. (Not the calc field, itself, as it's not enabled for user input.)
