Absolutely [mdash] you can either use radio buttons or check boxes - and I've attached an example that shows both. I've set the output values to equal the $$ amounts and then I used the calculate properties of the SubTotal fields to sum up the numbers. Of course, with radio buttons, you can only select one so you'll not see an addition there.

Next step:
Create a Grand Total that adds from both SubTotal fields.

Good luck!

PD,

If you set up your check boxes so that the export values are equal to the price of the corresponding item, you can set up a simple JavaScript routine as the custom calculation script for the total price field. For example, the following is an example that calculates the sum of three check box fields:

// Initialize variables
var sum = 0;
var i, val;

// Loop through the check box fields
for (i = 1; i < 4; i += 1) {

    // Get value of the current field
    val = getField("checkbox" + i).value;

    // If check box is checked, add its value to the sum
    if (val !== "Off") {

        sum += val;

    }

}

// Set this field's value to the sum
event.value = sum;

This code assumes the field names are "checkbox1", "checkbox2", and "checkbox3", so you'd have to modify this to suit your form, but you should get the idea.
