I'd like to do a few things I cant figure out with required fields:

I'd like to be able to force the user to choose one of two checkboxes -- choosing the yes box or no box is required. Any way to group them this way?

If that works, I'd like to have a more comples order where if a certain "No" box is checked, the user must choose at lease one of a group of 10 or 15 checkboxes to explain why they clicked "No."

Can Acrobat do this?
Help!

Acrobat Pro 9.1.3, Windows

What you describe (the first issue) needs to be done with radio-buttons, not check-boxes.
Radio-buttons are by definition grouped so that only one of them can be selected. Checkboxes are supposed to function independently of one another.

Thanks; what about issue 2 -- having two groups of radio buttons. If you select a certain button on group one (the no button), then you are obligated to choose one of the following set. If you choose yes, the following set is disabled...
