1. Yes, you can use something like this as the check-box's MouseUp event:
if (event.target.value=="Off") this.getField("Field1").display = display.hidden; else this.getField("Field1").display = display.visible;2. Yes, but only if the calculation is done with a script, not with the built-in simplified calculation options in Acrobat.
A simple example: conditionally adding the values of 3 fields, if they're visible.
var total = 0; if (this.getField("Field1").display==display.visible) total+=Number(this.getField("Field1").value); if (this.getField("Field2").display==display.visible) total+=Number(this.getField("Field2").value); if (this.getField("Field3").display==display.visible) total+=Number(this.getField("Field3").value); event.value = total; -

Hi Gilad,
Thank you very much for taking the time to help -- the Checkboxes now work the way I hoped they would!
However, I can't get the Total box to work. This is what I have in the Calculation script properties:
var total = 0;
if (this.getField("ROAE Fun Ride").display==display.visible) total+=Number(this.getField("ROAE Fun Ride").value);
if (this.getField("2015 BMMC Membership").display==display.visible) total+=Number(this.getField("2015 BMMC Membership").value);
if (this.getField("2015 BCORMA Membership").display==display.visible) total+=Number(this.getField("2015 BCORMA Membership").value);
if (this.getField("Donatin Amount").display==display.visible) total+=Number(this.getField("Donatin Amount").value);
event.value = total;
Have I made a mistake somewhere?

Seems fine to me... Are there any errors in the JS console?

The field name is "Donation Amount", not "Donatin Amount", and the resulting error does show up in the JavaScript console. I recommend that you enable the following preference: Edit > Preferences > JavaScript > Show console on errors and messages
so that you notice errors when they happen.

Hi George, good eye in catching my spelling error -- thanks very much!
The Total box works now, but in a bit of a strange way -- it seems to be one Checkbox behind. It shows $20 right off the bat which is what I expected to see because the first Checkbox line is read only and cannot be deselected. However, when I select the second Checkbox (BMMC for $20), the Total box does not update until the next Checkbox is selected, and so forth.
Can this be corrected?
Also, I wonder if I made things unnecessarily complicated by using hidden fields, etc. Maybe I should've just had the 4 Checkboxes (plus the donation amount box), and left the dollar amounts ($20, $20, and $45) as plain text...

That type of thing usually means the field calculation order is not correct, so just set it to what makes sense.
