Form field calculation

[AndreaL]

I have a document that I placed several form fields in. I need to have two
fields mulitple and give me a result. I have figured out how to created a
feild that multiples the two, but i can not figure out how to make it auto
update the field after the two fields have had data put in them.

Anyone know how to get a calculated form field to autocalculate?

thanks.

Double-click the last of the two fields used in the calculation (in order of
data entry) and click the "Calculate on Exit" check box. When you TAB out
of that field, the total field will update.

thank you very much!! That worked. I had been playing with that feature and
couldn't quite figure it out.
