    Hi,

    My apologies, your screencast is a flash file and since it is from an unknown source, it is not something we can open.  If you wouldn't mind letting us know which form you are having trouble with and how to recreate the issue, we will be happy to have a look.

    well! Don't know whether there will be error again, although I once stumbled on it! today, however, often saw her, and decided to record..sorry for the swf! The error is - in calculator, write formula after clicking OK, everything is gone! Again when you go to the calculator - it is empty, no formulas ... no one! Twice worked with calculators! I think the error in the calculator

    Problem:

    I am able to reproduce the issue on my end, it seems specific to using certain fields.  For example, if I use this field in any equation:

    It causes all equations to be blank after saving.  I will look in to this a bit more to see what specifically may be causing the issue.

    I am unable to recreate this issue in any other form, is this the only form that this is happening with?

    Not the only one! were the form with the calculation, which was the same problem! But I don't know what the problem is! Used form a bit later and it worked...

    It looks to be due to some of the spinner fields.  When I replaced the spinner fields with new ones, the calculation worked once again.  However, each time I tried to include one of the original, all calculation were removed.  If you can replace your spinner fields with new ones, the form will likely function properly once again.

    YESS! I did it!

    than all i needed is to set spinner value field instead! The value (number) not always properly considered in the calculator! Although my project is just a numeric field and they normally read in the calculator!!
