How to get the Formula field to work?

What I need: How do I get the formula field to work? I’ve been trying to get something much more complicated then this to work but not a single thing I do manages to get the formula field to work. I take two Text fields give them data labels of Comoneten and Comtwoten, give them a value of 10 and then build a Formula field that is [Camoneten] + [Camtwoten] and the fx does nothing. Swap to numbers fields, nothing, remake the Formula field just in case, nothing. What am I not understanding about Formula fields?

What I really want: I have a series of questions on a document that I want to add up the numerical value of each response. I have 6 questions all that can be answered with Yes, Sometimes or No which correspond to 10, 5 or 0 and once all 6 questions are done I’d like to get them summed up.

Currently I have Radio Buttons for the responses and then each of those and a Read Only field with 10 5 and 0 Hidden and only set to show up if the right button is selected, then I have a Formula that does this, [Com1-0] + [Com1-10] + [Com1-5] + [Com2-0] + [Com2-10] + [Com2-5] + [Com3-0] + [Com3-10] + [Com3-5] + [Com4-0] + [Com4-10] + [Com4-5] + [Com5-0] + [Com5-10] + [Com5-5] + [Com6-0] + [Com6-10] + [Com6-5] but I get nothing to pop up in the field.

@TMHolton - When you say the nothing pops up in the field, is that in preview mode or are you sending it to yourself to test first?  Unfortunately, the preview mode does not display the formula results.
