Ugh, it worked just great until I saved it. Same thing all over again.
I think we have to figure out how to trigger the validation as George suggested in his last statement above.
For what it's worth here is the calculation I used that worked until I saved it:
event.value = this.getField("Name of field").value * this.getField("Name of Field").value;
This performs a simple multiplication. if you wanted it to add, you would use "+" instead of "*". a "/" would divide. You get the idea.
