Calculated field

[Former Community Member]

I am using LiveCycle Designer creating a new purchase requisition.  I have a page with about fifteen lines for all the information.  I would like to be able to have a calculated field that is the result of the number ordered and multiplies it by the unit amount to get a line total.  When I choose the "Caculated - Read Only" type, everything greys out.  I have no access to the script editor (palette->script editor) that is referred to in the Help.  So how do I create a calculated field for each order line and keep a running total for the page total?

It is frustrating when the official HELP refers to items which aren't available, such as what I referred to earlier.

I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES, Version 8.2.1xxxxxxxxx.  Thank you.

There are various orders of events that can cause the script editor to become inaccessible. Of course I can think of none that I can reproduce, with the exception of the PaperFormsBarcode object.

Normally Designer behaves predictably. I created the attached form from scratch. It contains 7 different object types, all of which are 'Calculated - Read Only' and each has script in the calculate event.

The attached contains a table with row totals and grand totals for demonstration purposes, also.

How do I access the attached file, Steve?

Jive (the forum software) seems to queue and release attachments inconsistantly.

Send an email to stwalker.adobe@gmail.com I will forward the PDF.

Will do - thanks.  BTW, in HELP, it says "If the script editor is not already showing, select Palette->Script Editor".  Where is the Palette option or command?

On the toolbar, Window > Workspace.
