George_Johnson Jul 31, 2012 10:10 AM (in response to Andopwr)The first thing you need to do is make sure that the field calculation order is correct. Exactly how you do this depends on which version of Acrobat you have. First go into form editing mode. In Acrobat 9 you'd then select: Forms > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order
In Acrobat 10, select: Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order

Andopwr Jul 31, 2012 10:34 AM (in response to Andopwr)I did the "set field calculation order" and I believe I have them in the right order. (top to bottom as they occur) but the problem is the fields change with any additions I make. Giving me crazy numbers.

6. Re: Calculations gone wrong
Andopwr Jul 31, 2012 10:45 AM (in response to George_Johnson)It was that tax field at the top! I just locked in and made it read only so noone can put a number in there. and as long as you add the correct percentage in the bottm tax field every time it, it should be good. Is there a way to give that bottom tax field a fixed percentage so it doesnt need to be typed in?

George_Johnson Jul 31, 2012 10:50 AM (in response to Andopwr)It's not clear to me how it needs to work exactly, but you can set a default value for a field and make it read-only.
