Magus,The problem with this solution is that it will turn off field highlighting for ALL fields.  It may help with the fields I want to color, but all of the other fields will be white, confusing the user.Also, turning off highlighting with my form will leave the user with this feature disabled.  I ...

XIIIX,I was using Numeric fields, along with the same pattern setup, but no luck.  Switching to Javascript corrected the issue.

PDFGuru,Thanks for the info.  I switched the calculation from Formcalc to JavaScript and it works fine now.

I've got an issue where a FormCalc calculation stops working if I delete a value in a field that is part of the formula.Here's a link to the test form:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/3w6weyd3bp5dfss/Test_Totals.pdf?dl=0When I enter the values in the table as below, the calculation in the CASH DUE EMPLOY...
