Adobe 7.0 form field - division

[JeaLee]

Has anyone figured out how to make a form field display the results of the division of two other form fields? Addition and multiplication are built in calculations, but I have found nothing anywhere to tell me how to do this.

Hello JeaLee,
You need to use the "Simplified Field Notation".

use the field name (Case Sensitive, no special characters around it), the operator, and the field name.

Example to divide field1 by field2:
field1/field2

Hope this helps.

That's what I thought, but it's not working.

What results do you get?
Are the fields you are trying to work with set as numeric fields?

Check field1 and field2 by opening the properties, click the format tab. Make sure both are set to numeric.
