    My calculated fields for total number of entries and entry fees was working great now it is so messed up. I don't think I changed any thing but maybe I did. It is supposed to add 1 if a breed is checked then that total goes into total amount of entries. but for some reason is is getting that total wrong . On my form I should have had 6 entries and it said 25

    I cloned your form to test it and it is working on my end.  When I enter the information for 1 entry, the appropriate number of entries is shown in the calculation field:

    The fees were calculated appropriately:

    Is there a specific way to reproduce the issue?  There are 150+ fields in the form so it is a bit difficult to check all scenarios.  The naming of fields also makes it hard to follow the calculation:

    But the calculation does appear to be functional.

    Did you select a breed such as aob doe or aob buck? Like I said it was
    working but when I go in and start filling in for my kids it automatically
    fills in which is great. But since I have practiced and then not submitted
    could it be calculating past entries that is all I can think of. I have no
    internet at home. I will go in to work tomorrow and try again. Thank you

    Thank you so much for your help. It seems to be a problem with the computer
    somehow. I believe it may be because i would go in and start a submission
    and then not submit it . I used a different computer and it did fine. I am
    pretty computer stupid so to be able to set up a form like this is amazing.
    I hope that our organization grows to need the updated systems. I thank you
    so much for offering the free forms . We are a non profit and give
    everything back to the kids in awards. If I could just figure out how to
    clear the history from my computer so it would stop multipling the entries.
    but maybe if I quit playing with it and always submit it will fix it. I
    just didn't want to go over my limit

    I reviewed your account Jlgagoat  and I see the account usage were still way below the monthly limits. All account related usage should be good at this time.

    In case the issue was about preventing multiple submission of your form, you can use the feature described on the user guide.
