Thanks Max, I have not heard that before. Also why do use the { in your
calc? Is it for the same reason you use the semicolon? The formula
seems to work fine without either.

Subject: Re: [PDF-Forms] Calculation of fields - division: CORRECTION
I just checked the following code in Acrobat 6 (easier to debug <g>),
and this one definitely works:
var a = this.getField("a") ;
var b = this.getField("b") ;
if (b.value * 1 != 0) {
event.value = a.value / b.value ;
}
This above code is assigned to the Calculate event of the result field.
Note that you might add semicolons at the end of the statements (they
are not mandatory, but sometimes you may encounter weird behavior).
Hope, this can help
