Calculation

I have a table with 5 columns and 3 rows. I want to divide e2 by e1 and put
the result in e3. This table is in a locked template. When I go to use it
and put 5 in e1 and 20 in e2 I get a zero in e3. No matter what number I put
in I get zero. I have calculate on exit checked on all three fields. Please
help, this seems so simple but I can not get it work. I have checked out the
formula website listed but still can not figure it out. Thanks so much

Linda,

What do you have in e3? Are you using a formfield calculation field
=(e1\e2).

Hi Greg:

Yes that is what I have in the e3 field. I am still getting a 0 as soon as
I enter a number in the e1 field. Am I having a problem because of the
locked template? I am so frustrated at such a simple equation. Awaiting
your reply and thanks so much.

Linda,

I can't duplicate your problem. You could try using a formula field
directly in the cell vice a formfield calculation field. Unprotect your
form and delete the calculation field. With your cursor still in the target
field press CTRL+F9. Inside the field code braces that appear, type
=(e1/e2). It should look like this { =(e1/e2) }. Right click the field and
press "Toggle Field" codes. Finally protect your form and give it a go.
