    however, when it calculates the values of the section it comes up as 123 not the totals for the items chosen.

    I have checked your form and I could not find the calculation widget, but I would recommend you to add calculation values to your fields so the number is passed over instead of the text, please check the following guides that will also help you:

    Thanks for your response.  However, I have added the item you said I omitted and still all I get is  123 in the total portion.  SO frustrating!!!!  Please advise.  Can't I call someone and have them walk me through this!

    Unfortunately, we do not provide phone support so will not be possible to call you.

    I have now checked your form and I can see you have added a calculation widget and you're already performing some calculations, I have checked some options and I can see the calculation works fine:

    I have already cleared your forms cache in case the form is not showing this update for you.
