Hi Paul,

When you open the console there may be some returns already in it.

Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 9.0
Acrobat Annotations / Collaboration Built-in Functions Version 9.0
Acrobat Annotations / Collaboration Built-in Wizard Functions Version 9.0
Acrobat SOAP 9.0

You can clear these by clicking the trash button at the bottom.

What you are looking out for are errors either when the form loads or when you click into the exclusion group.See below

This tells you the object which has fallen over; the event; the problem; and the line number (thanks Paul G).

Open your form and the console. Try and click into and out of the exclusion group and see if it thows up anything.

Without seeing your form, it is difficult to be specific. Please forgive me if I am stating the obvious, but these would be some suggestions:

  • There isn't any script in the checkboxes or textfield;
  • The main script is in a script object called "utility". John has this in the variables in the Master Page. You will need this in your form, but also placed in the same relative hierarcy in your form;
  • This has six (I think) functions. You may need all of these.
  • The exclusion group script is contained in the subform initialise event and calculate event. The initialise events calls the setMinAndMax() function. The calculate event calls the makeExclusive() function. While it looks like these are the only two functions called. It is likely that some of the remaining four functions in the utility script object are called from within the functions;

So, you should make sure that your checkboxes/textfield are within a subform. That subform should have the same script as John's in the initialise and calculate events. Lastly your form should have an exact copy of the utility script object.

Hope that helps,

Niall
