The problem may be you have you field set to something other than "none" or "number" which would account for the error message.

"Text Field Properties" > "Select Format Category"

Louise-

I have had this problem before too. Usually when dealing with
percentage fields. For some reason Acrobat doesn't like to divide
number fields in a percentage formatted field. If this is the case with
you, make the percentage field a numerical field and do this JS calc:


var a = this.getField("Field1")
var b = this.getField("Field2")
vvent.value = a.value / b.value * 100

This will make the percentage field appear in the format you may be
looking for. Remember to choose the format without a comma when setting
the numerical field. If this isn't the situation hopefully this rant
helped somebody out there who has had the same problem.


Thanks....Justice

I have a few forms on which I need to do division, at several locations, but when I add the JavaScript for division for the appropriate field, I get an error message for every field before I reach the fields used in the calculation. The message is the following

"The value entered does not match the format of the field (Field
Name)".

I have tried the solution recommended in the Tue, 15 May 2001
discussion, Subject [PDF-Forms] Blank Forms??????
but the same scenario occurs.

I have Acrobat 5.0
