performing simple tasks

In Q&A we could perform arithmetic calculations with ease.  In a form the fileds required will be numbered.  For example - we wish to muliply field #1 with field #2 and the result in field #3 - the formula entered in field #3 is #3=#1*#2.  How can we do that simple thing here in the Sesame.  Please explain.

You do the same thing, but you don't need to number everything first. You just use the element names in your programming:

Total = Price * Quantity

Just make sure your  fields are formatted as numbers.
Example from a real rookie (me)
BALANCE = PURCHASES - (PAYMENTS + CREDITS)
Works for me but won't work if your fields are set as text as I found out . Will "ADD" text to make 1 line,just won't "SUBTRACT" text.

Thanks for clearing my doubts.  I would also like to know how to add images in the filed formatted for images on the form.  Please explain.
Thank you
Mathew
