For you first two checkboxes, you probably need to see the article "Making
groups of Check Box Form Fields mutually exclusive (so that they behave like
radio buttons)" at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...FmFldChbxs.htm
Then, you can incorporate code the set each checkbox to the desired state.

I'm creating a form for the first time and would like to have the
following
senerio occur:
there will be a section with 2 main check boxes to indicate different
search
criteria for the given report a client is looking for, ie attached and
detached homes. within these 2 section check boxes (attached and detached
homes) will be about eight more checkboxes each indcating different
specifcs
(such as permitted or not permitted). Is there a way that when the main
section is selected (attached and detached homes) Defaulted checkmarks
will
automatically check? ie client checks attached homes and automatically
the
permited box is checked.
hope this made sense. this may require more computer savvy computer
skills
then i have but i thought it was worth a try to check and see that i'm not
just missing something.
thanks in advance for the help
