Hello -- I am a newbie. I am NOT a programmer and really don't want to be a programmer -- but I need to get a relatively simple form produced.
This form will help the end user produce a course outline and at the same time give the manager of the team (myself) an estimate of the hours required to develop the course.
The form consists of a repeating form with five or six questions about the specific module in a course. At the end of the form there is a section for the instructional designer to fill in the amount of time in hours that he or she believes it will take for them to complete development of a specific module.
If they need more than one module they repeat this form and go through the process again.
At the end of the form there is a place for the sum of the hours to come up.
First mistake had something to do with the control form doing duplicate date -- and so when you pressed the repeat button and filled in the hours whatever went into the last post would get put in all hour boxes.
Somehow I fixed that. So now that control is a simple text with double decimal as the data type.
However, now the total hours control only shows a zero (0), The set-up is as follows:
The control in the repeating form (where users are outlining each module) is named modhours and is set for a datatype as double decimal.
The control at the end of the repeating form is named tothours. It is set as a double decimal as well.The value for this control is sum(modhours),
Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
