Making checkboxes mutually exclusive
I have a workbook that has multiple sheets and is using checkboxes that are
checked for a list of questions that have YES, NO, and N/A as possible responses. (These responses are also tallied on a separate summary sheet.) Since only one response can be correct, it is possible to make sure that only one answer can be given for each question? Is there anything that can be done with an IF statement to make this work? |

Making checkboxes mutually exclusive
Hi,
looks to me like you want to use an Option Buttion (previously called Radio buttons - if , like me you're the age that you can remember what real push-buttons looked like on a car-radio). Add the Option Buttons from the toolbox, and make sure that 'GroupName' property is set correctly identifying the various groups of buttons you want. regards, PauwlL "instructorjml" wrote: I have a workbook that has multiple sheets and is using checkboxes that are checked for a list of questions that have YES, NO, and N/A as possible responses.

Making checkboxes mutually exclusive
Take a look at Debra Dalgleish's Contextures website:
http://www.contextures.com/xlform01.html That link showcases Dave Peterson's code that builds the form automatically for you. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "instructorjml" wrote: I have a workbook that has multiple sheets and is using checkboxes that are checked for a list of questions that have YES, NO, and N/A as possible responses.

I think you are correct that Option Buttons would be the answer. I also need
to tally those responses; can I assign a value to the cell that can be added or can the button automatically equal 1 if selected and 0 if not selected? Also, it seems to me that the forms toolbar is the one to use for this--am I correct?
