Text Field Calculation Error

I created a simple form with four text fields -
"a" "b" "c" "d".
Two were set up as number fields and two as calculation
fields.
One calculation field sums the two number fields (="a"+"b")
and the second calculation field is set to equal the first
calculation field (="c").
However, it doesn't show "c" it shows "c" twice, eg.:
"a" = 1
"b" = 2
"c" = 3
"d" = 33
If I add a fifth calculation field "e" (="d") it would
show as 3333.

What's going on? Anybody?
 
Hi Barry,

There is a bug in that if you use the actual bookmark that you see from the
formfield property dialog, you get funny results.

The workaround is to assign a bookmark yourself to the formfield, from the
Insert > Bookmark dialog (not from the property dialog) and then to use that
bookmark name in the calculation.
