Mutually exclusive checkboxes
How do you make checkboxes in a WORD form mutually exclusive? I do NOT work
in code. Can this be done using the standard "Developer" functions provided in Word. I am creating a form with several lines of questions. Each is to be answered using Yes/No/NA checkboxes. Only a single box should be checked. |

Mutually exclusive checkboxes
I'm not aware of a way of doing that without programming. However, if you
aren't 100% committed to check boxes, you might consider using a Drop-Down Form Field in which the choices are Yes, No, and Not Applicable. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "andruet" wrote in message ...

What you are describing is actually the functionality of radio buttons.
Can't you use those instead of checkboxes? It would also be more userfriendly as people would find it 'normal' to only be able to select one radio button. Yves "andruet" wrote in message ...
