Max- It worked as such, guess too many {} and () in prior calc.  Thanks
again for the tip!

var a = this.getField("a") 
var b = this.getField("b") 
if (b.value * 1 != 0) 
event.value = a.value / b.value

This is a big case of UBS ehh.... oooops...

I claimed:

And that is pure and applied Quatsch...

Correct would be:

     if (b.value * 1) != 0) {
     event.value = a.value / b.value ;
     }


I apologize for the mess-up.
