Allow selection of only 1 checkbox
 

I am modifying a paper document to be used electronically and trying not to change the "look" of the document.

There are a number of sets of checkboxes (1 to 4)where only one is to be selected.

If checkbox 1 is selected and then checkbox 2 can I clear the first one, allowing only one selection.

I know I can do this with option buttons, but would like to keep the same look.

Allow selection of only 1 checkbox
 

hi
in the check box code you have to add code to uncheck the other checkboxes
if the current check box is checked.
in checkbox1 code....
if checkbox1 = true then
checkbox2 = false
checkbox3 = false
end if
in checkbox2 code....
if checkbox2 = true then
checkbox1 = false
checkbox3 = false
end if
in checkbox3 code....
if checkbox3 = true then
checkbox1 = false
checkbox2 = false
end if

you have to do this for each check box, uncheck the other appropriate
checkboxes.

hope this helped

Use the option buttons instead of check boxes, they have this built in

Peo, you are correct in that would be the simplest solution, but the guy paying the bills wants checkboxes... You can't fight city hall.

Thanks to both you and FSt1 for your solutions.

This is a great forum!!
