Check-boxes: Is there a way to lock how many?
I was wondering if there was a way to set the check boxes in a form so that
you can not have two checked at the same time? For instance...I am giving my engineers 3 choices for the type of agreement they are trying to create...I don't want them to be able to check all 3 choices...they should only be checking one choice. Is there a way to have the check boxes work so that if they click on one their previous check disappears? |

You can try the macro solution at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...FmFldChbxs.htm. However, sending macro-driven documents to others runs into security problems. I think it would make more sense to use a dropdown form field instead. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Thu, 17 Aug 2006 15:00:02 -0700, LeahT wrote: I was wondering if there was a way to set the check boxes in a form so that you can not have two checked at the same time?
