Hello

Actually this isn't  the main reason for using FormCalc as opposed to JavaScript,

FormCalc is not as powerful or as ubiquitous as JavaScript. However, it  is ideal for nonprogrammers

who need to add calculations to their forms.  If you come from a Microsoft Excel background and

you don't have any  JavaScript experience, you should consider using FormCalc. FormCalc has  many

built-in functions that cover a range of areas including finance,  logic, dates/times, and mathematics.

FormCalc is supported in Designer,  Acrobat, Reader, and in the LiveCycle Servers.

However, it will not work  with the HTML forms created by LiveCycle Forms.

Although FormCalc is the default scripting language in Designer,  JavaScript is more

ideal for creating sophisticated interactive and  dynamic forms.


Thanks,

Debadas.
