Default Check box form field--choose yes OR no, not both!

Check boxes are intended to allow an either/or choice. In this case, your
choice is a simple Yes or No, so it would make much more sense to use a
single check box, with a label that is True or False and let users check the
box or not accordingly.

Hi Everyone. I have created a form in which the check box form fields were
used to annotate either "yes" or "no" (Example: Yes –¡ No –¡). When
one of these check boxes is checked, I want the other one to not be

allowed
to be checked. I just want either of the boxes allowed to be checked. I am
unable to determine how to do this. I've heard that there is a macro for

this
but when I try to choose one, this message appears "The macros in this
project are disabled. Please refer to the online help or documentation of

the
host applicatio to determine how to enable macros." Obviously I've never

used
a macro before and would prefer not to. How do I resolve this issue, and

if I
need to use a macro, how do I enable that feature? Any help is greatly
appreciated. Thanks!
