Hi Hans, Hi all,

> \startJSpreamble {Calculate} used now
>   function Calculate ()
>     { v = getField("Ergebnis") ; v.value = 0 ;
>       v.value += getField("Summand1").value ;

This treats the values like strings if they contain other seperators as a
dot
I changed your solution to:

\startJSpreamble {Calculate} used now
  function Calculate ()
    { v = getField("Ergebnis") ; v.value = 0 ;
      v.value += AFMakeNumber(getField("Summand1").value) ;
      v.value += AFMakeNumber(getField("Summand2").value)  }
\stopJSpreamble

and this works very nice for me.

Thank you very much

Happy New Year

Lutz
