exponents in InfoPath 2007

[grant galloway]

how in the world to I include exponents into a formula in Infopath 2007.
something simple like 5^3. for some reason, the carrot "^" is not a valid
symbol. please help!!!

I do not think exponents would be supported. You may have to treat them as
text if you want it presenved or for math do the numbers the long way.

i was actually trying to do a formula like 2.2^1.364
maybe i can link the form back to access and calculate it that way.

Hello,

You should be able to hook your field up to a .NET code-behind function to
calculate this using the System.Math class. Then you could have the function
calculate after a change to other fields to get your final results. That
would be far less painful that calling out to Access IMHO.
