Custom "calculations"

[Scott24x7]

All,
I'm working in .PDF form designer (version 8) for the first time... there is the ability to "calculate" fields, but the options available in the properties box are pretty limited (mostly adding/product, min/max, very simple).
I need to do a few calculations that are "custom" (Divide / 2, subtract 10, then add them all together, that kind of thing). But the documentation says zip about this... how can I do these kinds of calculations based on the values of other fields? (Something simple, like divide Quota field by 2, and load the value in "Mid-MonthQuota"?)


Best Regards,
Scott

I too am new to this but this is what I found. I use the LiveCycle Designer 8.0 to write Javascript for more complex calculations. LC has a scripting help topic that helped me get through it. That and a lot of "Googling". Adobe's website has some info, too including a video that got me started.
