    Default Acrobat Forms - Calculate feature

    I have created many adobe forms using the form field, calculate, sum option. My problem is that on occasion, the fields won't update when I type in a new amount. The old amount sticks. is there a way to force the formulas to automatically refresh everytime you enter data? Please help!!!

    This problem is almost always due to an incorrect Field Calculation Order. Try setting it to something that makes sense.

    Did you ever figure it out. It does the same to me unless I change an amount then change back again. it is a pain in the button. I wish their was a refresh button.
