Is there any way of making check boxes work in the same way as radio buttons,
i.e. making it possible to be able to only have one box ticked in a group.
You may say use radio buttons, but the users of the form I am constructing
would prefer to have tick boxes.
Many thanks for any assistance.

Hi

You can change checkbox values by code. Try this:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Me.CheckBox2.Value = Not (Me.CheckBox1.Value)
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()
Me.CheckBox1.Value = Not (Me.CheckBox2.Value)
End Sub

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Thanks. This works for two checkboxes, but I cannot make it work for more
than two. I tried including more lines of the same code but with different
box references, under each Sub routine for three boxes.

First allow me to say that this is a really silly idea. The customer wants
something to bark and scare off thieves, but dogs are ugly and smelly, so
the customer wants it to be a pussycat. So how do we teach a pussycat to
bark, and how do we make thieves afraid of them ? We require it. Customers
are not always right. But see if this works for you, the technique is useful
anyway:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If CheckBox1.Value = True Then
CheckBox2.Value = False
CheckBox3.Value = False
End If
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()
If CheckBox2.Value = True Then
CheckBox1.Value = False
CheckBox3.Value = False
End If
End Sub

And so on.

HTH. Best wishes Harald
