Figure 5-15. Field Menu for SHIP in the TOTALS Form
The next Field Menu displayed is for the SHIP field, which is the
shipping cost value. Shipping cost is a user-entered value that may or
may not be needed.
Action
At the Field Menu for SHIP, leave the field type as O for optional,
change the data type to NUM2 to conform to the other dollar values, and
provide an initial value of zero (in the format .00 as shown in Figure
5-15).
Since the value of the SHIP field is used in a later calculation, it must
have a value or the calculation would not be made.
