Thanks Niall.That is what I dreaded. I'm sure Adobe has their reasons $$$ but it puts a bump in my plans. My users are going to want to save copies of these forms as well as email them to their customers and to our suppliers which those customers and suplliers may want to forward that to lawyers, su...

Just so I am clear... The users of my forms cannot save and thus can not email the completed form to myself or anyone else as a pdf document unless I pay for Adobe Acrobat and enable the form to be reader enabled? Most, if not all, my users will have only reader.It's funny (not really but) i went an...

Yes that worked. However if the user changed num1 or num2 it would recalculate. That couyld be a good or bad thing. I did find in this forum the other way of using 2 hidden fields. A checkbox and a numeric. Where is if you overwrite total and caused a change event that caused the checkbox to be 1. a...

I'm not sure where else I would put the calculation code. Are you saying drop a hidden field put the calc code in that hidden field and then have my total field = the hidden field.I'll email you a test project.Can't I attach it in this reply? I see where I can insert a video, or an image, but not at...

I have a calculated field whose formcalc is sum(price [*]) and the object value type is set to Calculated-User Can Override but when I try to overwrite it, the fields goes back to the calculated figure. What am I not doing? 

Thanks Paul for being there. I found one way and your is what I was first looking for. Thanks again.

Doesn't it always happen...You search for hours trying to find something then after you give up and ask for help you find the answer yourself.If I selected the field then right click then select font. Whoop there it is!I knew it had to be easy. Just had to wait for the fog to lift.Thanks anyway

Ok this may be a newbie question but how can I change the color of text in text boxes and/or in the caption portion of different fields? I created my form from a document that was already created. The color of the font in that document was mostly blue with some text as red. Any new fields I add the ...

I have an older copy of designer. I have Designer7. I looked and there is not a Decimal Field.I now am trying to figure out sales tax and percentage. I'll start a new thread to keep on topic.

"Also because you are using a currency you may want to use the decimal field ...you might find that easier"...really? This is my first form. Are you saying create 2 fields in the form one to capture the whole figure and the other to capure the change? or is there a field like a numeric or text calle...
