Hi Geoff This is an example of the fields in the handler that need to be in the calculation, and when the calculation start the $ will produce an error because the $ is in the field. So, the $ needs to be removed, and calc is done, then the $ is put back into the several fields.
put fld "Loan1" + fld "Loan2" into fld "Loan Balance" put fld "Vehicle Selling Price" - fld "Buyers Offer Discount" into fld "Net Offer Price" put fld "Net Offer Price" + fld "Buyers Options Cost" - fld "Factory Allowance" into fld "Sum of Offer" put fld "Sum of Offer" - fld "Buyers Accepted Trade" into fld "Net Amt after Payoff" put fld "Net Amt after Payoff" - fld "Buyers Down PMT." into fld "Balance Before Finance" put fld "Balance Before Finance" + fld "Tax" + fld "Plates" + fld "Doc Fees" + fld "Options Other" into fld "Amount of Loan" put fld "Loan Term in Months" * fld "Monthly Payment" into fld "Sum of Loan at Term" put fld "Amount of Loan" - fld "Sum of Loan at Term" into fld "Interest Paid at Term" Thank you Vaughn Clement Apps by Vaughn Clement (Support) *http://www.appsbyvaughnclement.com/tools/home-page/* Skype: vaughn.clement https://secure.join.me/appsbyvclement FaceTime: vclem...@gmail.com LogMeIn also avaialble Call on "ooVoo" at address: vaughnclement or 9282549062 Ph. 928-254-9062 Cloud Hosting Registration Web Site: https://my.oditech.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=41 On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 12:35 PM, Vaughn Clement <vclem...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Geoff > > For the new developer, can you explain what the script is doing in more > detail? > > > Thank you > > Vaughn Clement > > Apps by Vaughn Clement (Support) > *http://www.appsbyvaughnclement.com/tools/home-page/* > Skype: vaughn.clement > https://secure.join.me/appsbyvclement > FaceTime: vclem...@gmail.com > LogMeIn also avaialble > Call on "ooVoo" at address: vaughnclement or 9282549062 > Ph. 928-254-9062 > Cloud Hosting Registration Web Site: > https://my.oditech.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=41 > > > On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 11:53 AM, Geoff Canyon <gcan...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> In the absence of confirmation from someone looking at the engine code, I >> wrote a test.
