    My pdf form is not calculating correctly. I built a simple log sheet to track Purchases. The employee enters date, vendor and estimated cost. I put in a field at the bottom of the cost column to calculate the total costs. It "total cost" calculation functions correctly as long as I do not go back and change any of the estimated costs. If I make a change, it continues to add the original cost to the calculation on top of any new costs. I have gone back and zeroed all the estimated costs but the calculation for the "total costs" retains the original amounts.

    Don't add the value of the total to the total.
