Hi Hans Bauer,

Do the following:

1. Take the field as Numeric Field or Decimal field from Library.

2. Select the field from Hierarchy.

3. Go to menu> windows> Script Editor.

4. Choose Exit event in the script editor.

5. now write the following code in the exit event of the numeric field/decimal field.

$.rawValue = $.rawValue/100

Thats all what you have to do.

Hope it will solve your problem.

Hi Hans,

If you want to display time in that field then use date and time field instead of decimal/numeric field and make following configurations:

1. Select the Date and time field and go to Object palette.

2. In the field tab of object palette set display pattern and edit pattern as "HH:MM".

3. Select value tab in the object palette and set validate pattern to "HH:MM".

4. Now below the validate pattern there is textbox validate pattern message. Put there the message you want to display.

Hope this will work. If there is any restriction to use decimal field only then do tell me.

Hi Hans,

Use the following script at the exit event of the numeric field:

if( mod($.rawValue,100) > 60)
then
	$host.messageBox( "Wrong value entered" );
	$host.setFocus("NumericField1");
else 
	$.rawValue = $.rawValue/100;
endif

hope it will be helpful.

HI,

Are you asking about adding Date/time field or numeric field. What I understand is that you want to add two Numeric fields on the adobe form. For that you have to write the same script at the exit event of both the fields.

Hi,

Do you want to add their values or want to add them on the form.

if you want to add their values then just write the follwing script at the event where you want assigning this value to the field you want :

Num2Time( (Time2Num(DateTimeField1.rawValue) + Time2Num(DateTimeField2.rawValue)) , "HH:MM:SS")
