You have a syntax error in your code. Please attach the PDF and I'll have a look.

There was some sort of hidden dash in the middle of the word property (PaymentProper-ty_Taxes) at position 61 of your script. I removed it for you so the syntax error is no longer there.

THANKS! how do i find line 61 or any other position in the document in the future to find these errors? i could not find line 1 column 61 when it told me that location.

also how did you see it if it was hidden and how did you remove it?

Sometimes I use a different text editor (UltraEdit) to write code. It has ruler at the top of the editor that counts characters. So when your syntax error was complaining about column 61, i copied the code it was moaning about into UltraEdit so i could see where column 61 was. And when i did that i noticed that there was a dash at that position. So I removed it and pasted the code back into Designer and the error was gone.

Ahh, so LiveCycle does not show you where the location is? got it. Thank You very much.

Hi,

If you right click in the script editor, there is an option to show line numbers. Once this is turned on, line numbers will be shown for all forms.
