Thank you! I've been trying to find out how to do a total in my Livecycle form for the past 2 days and nothing's worked until I found your TH-cam video. THANK YOU!
Hi Steven thanks for the video on this topic but bigger props for taking the time to personally show me where I was going wrong... Live Cycle now has another handy function that I will no doubt be able to use in the future. The girls in the office that ultimately benefited from your assistance on this say a big THANK YOU!!!
Danno Sorry, I am tied up at the moment doing course preparation. So I have to go into the "cone of silence" for a bit and cant help you directly. In the interim - please try my other video on Form resources. If you want to send suggestions for topics to cover, please do - I am planning to do more tutorials over the next few weeks. Regards Steven
Thanks for the help man! I wounder about something... I want to calculate a number that is not in the field but will shot up in the totals could you help me with that?
Mr. Knight, I got my form to work using FormCalc, however, it I need to do the same formula to add a series of numbers and get a total, in javascript. It is an estimate portion of my inspection form. It is just adding a column of numbers and it works in formcalc, just not javascript. Here is the calculation: topmostSubform.Page1.FeeTotal_2::calculate - (FormCalc, client) Paid_2=Feewm+Feepp Any help would be appreciated!
Mr Knight, I'm relatively new to LiveCycle designer and currently use ES 8.2. One question I have is how do I make a field appear depending on the option I select. EG: If I select yes to a question a field appears which I have to fill in and if I select No the field is hidden and I can continue with the rest of the form. Hope that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
Danno, you can link to the pdf from a page in Dreamweaver. not sure what you are asking, Danno, give me an overview of what you need to do and I will try to point you to the right resources. Steven
Hi Steven I am trying to set up a simple calculation that will sum a number of price fields then produce a total with and without GST and a field that shows the GST amount. Your excellent tutorial got me all excited because I did not realise that LC had this facility. Unfortunately I only get as far as opening up the three panels because the Script field is empty where as yours has a formula displayed. Then when I click on various fields nothing appears in the script editor so I am unable to create the formulas. Could you advise what you think is going on here please? From one Brissie boy to another it would be much appreciated.. :)
Vince look for my tutorial "Adding Rows and Showing Optional or Alternative fields in LiveCycle Designer " Its a bit long but from memory the second part covers what you are looking for
+Mostly Drew Short answer is Yes I have a collection of LiveCycle questions to answer. I am hoping to look at them Thursday morning. I'll put some notes together which will show either here or in my blog
Good day, Mr. Steven. I am looking to make a script to perform the next action: I have ¨price1¨, ¨qty1¨ and ¨total1¨ if ¨qty1¨is 4 or less; then ¨total1¨ be $ 0.0 (this first 4 items should be free) if ¨qty1¨ is larger than 5 then this number should be multiple for the ¨Price1¨ ($ 14.40) but less the cost of the first 4 items which as I mentiones should be free. Help me please I been trying this very hard with no results. Thanks
+MUZAMMIL KHAN You can use two languages to within LiveCycle forms - Formcalc and JavaScript. This URL is for the FormCalc referene help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/FormCalc.pdf I use FormCalc becase my needs are simple and its easy to use. But JavaScript will give you more and might be what you need Good Luck, Steven
+Steven Knight Love your videos; they are really helpful to a lIvecycle novice like myself. I am trying to calculate the values of checkboxes that are placed within a table cell, but not having much luck. Each checkbox has a value of 3 and when checked, the total should populate in a numeric field. For some reason, this works perfect with standalone checkboxes, but as soon as you place them in a table cell, it doesn't work. Can you help with this please? Is there a way to make this work? Thanks.
Thanks for your feedback! I have a collection of LiveCycle questions to answer. I am hoping to look at them Thursday morning. I'll let you know if I come up with an answer
+Steven Knight Thank you so much for your time and for responding, however, I was not able to figure it out. i am a LiveCycle novice. Is there any way I can send the file to you to look at?
+hrhtac Send to steven.knight@stevenknighttraining.com.au Do you have access to Skype for Business (Lync) or a modern browser? I'd like to look at using an online tutorial to help you with this (and I need to practice with the tools) Let me know if you are interested and your time zone...
The click sounds from Adobe Captivate are extremely irritating. If you used a less annoying capture software, this tutorial would be far better and more inviting to your channel. I find Adobe Captivate works best for a hands on learning module however, for recording videos for TH-cam I would suggest Camtasia.
Steven, I'm happy to hear that as I found your tutorial to be informative and direct. I look forward to seeing your future videos as I enjoy your tutorial style. I just couldn't get past the sound effects. Thank you for not taking my criticism the wrong way.

Ian, timely comment as I am about to discontinue my Captivate subscription - too expensive for what I need. Camtasia is on my short list!
