Hi,
I can't figure out how to write a calculation in FormCalc so that n (the number entered into the form field) multiplied by .485 equals X. This calculation is so that someone filling out the form can enter the number of miles driven and the form automatically converts the miles to the dollar amount based on the IRS mileage reimbursement. So n=some number multiplied by .485. I have tried:
n * .0485
n*.485
fieldnam * .485
and various permutations setting the parameters to "calculate" and "FormCalc". The field is currently a decimal field, and I've tried it as numeric with no luck.
Any ideas? This is, of course, one in a series of calculations for a reimbursement form. And, as you can tell, I am a newbie. I've made plenty of forms, just none that do math.
Thanks,
Catherine
