will do, i will keep your tips in mind. Thanks Niall.

Thanks a million for your help, knowledge and not to mention patience. Without your assistance i would have been lost in the world of scripts as it is new to me right now lol.

Success i got it working i guess i had repeatedly kept adding a 1 by accident in between (field) and .rawvalue

this is where i'm applying the scriptsif you notice i highligted the field that i'm having trouble with so that way you can see the script

actually i had screwed up the script for the last field and that is why it is showing a crazy number but i fix it and its giving me the appropriate 2 or 3 digit number.i did apply the script in calculate event do you suggest that i should change it?

im getting this message when i open in acrobat

okay the 4 fields are in subform now but the script you provided me to add on field three is still not picking up the first field

just saw your warning post,the fields are not currently in sub form, interestig enought the script worked for the bottom 3 fields leaving the first top one not working, i will put them in sub form to see if it works.
