I have sliding set for multiple fields but one particular vertical range of fields has a calculated result but does not slide up like it's supposed to and has the result $0.00 if nothing is supposed to be there! Can anyone help me on this!?

Can you post more details? What kind of sliding options are you using? Can you post a screenshot or sample cloned file?

The sliding options I'm using are: "Sliding up, based on all above" "also reduce the size of the enclosed part".

I have a calculation result from the following code:

(price1 + price2) * (1 + (Tax * .01))

Every other field works like it is supposed to with sliding except for the above field where $0.00 is continually output once any number is put into the Tax field. Is there a way to get around this issue?

Try formatting your field not to display number if zero.

I saw your post and thought it should be a pretty simple script to run but I couldn't get it to display nothing if the result is $0.00. Could you offer some possible code based on my formula to calculate a new price after tax?

Here's my current formula that I have:

(price1 + price2) * (1 + (Tax * .01))

There's no need to change the formula. In Layout mode, select the field, and under Format > Number… turn on the

'Do not display number if zero' option.

Thank you very much sir that worked like a charm, now according to what I've seen so far layout objects cannot shrink is that correct?

Some can, some can't - that's a rather wide statement you have there. Fields, when placed on a layout, are layout objects too.
