Suppress Display of Calculated Field when it Equals Zero

[weigoldk]

I originally posted this over in the Adobe forum, but I haven't gotten a bit yet. I believe the answer will come in scripting. So I'm adding it to this Forum also.

I'm an Adobe and scripting novice (so in other words, don't be afraid of being overly explicit )

I have a very simple calculated field in an Adobe form. It adds up two other fields in the form. When the other fields in the form are left blank, the calculated field displays zero (that makes perfect sense), but I'd like to suppress the calculated field if the other two fields are left blank. If it would be easier to look at it a different way, I could also suppress the calculated field anytime that it equals 0.

Without seeing what your code is, it sounds like you just need a simple if statement to not execute the cacluation if the result equals zero.

result = field1 + field2

if result > 0 then
calculate and display results
end if
