 * Love the form. What is the best way to add a calculated field? Or display the
   total of several numeric fields? So that you can select several fields with prices
   associated and then see a total?
 * Thanks,
    TimCam

 * I think the only way this can happen is if you hook into the [submission action](http://www.campbellhoffman.com/form-manager-faq/#actions-filters).
   You would grab the values, do the calculation, then update the record in the 
   form’s data table. [This](http://www.campbellhoffman.com/form-manager-faq/#what-is-the-table-structure-for-submission-data)
   explains how to find the name of the right data table. Also if your host has 
   phpmyadmin, that is helpful.

 * I think I misunderstood. What I told you was to store the total value – if you
   want to see a ‘live’ total on the form itself, I would use some javascript.
