I want to create a protected form that has fields the
user can enter numbers in and another field that totals
these fields.
Also, another part of my form will have a total field and
calculate only certain fields.

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks,
Maria
 
Maria,

A quick example.

Open a new document. Insert three form fields.
Doubleclick the first one. Change the type to number,
check calculate on exit, and change the field setting
bookmark name to X. Double click the second one and make
the same changes except change the bookmark to Y.

Double click the third and change the type to
calculation. In the expression window, put =X+Y

Protect your form to see the result. This should get you
started
