How do you select only one box of several? If the user checks one, the others BECOME UNCHECKED. Any ideas? Only simple javascript please if I have to use it. I'm still new to it. Be gentle.... Thanks!

Hi Liz,
Just make sure that the name of all the boxes in that group is the same (right click-properties).

Thanks
Raj

Raj, I did this and named them all "ShipBy" but when I test it I can check all of them. I'm using livecycle

As noted LiveCycle Designer works differently than Acrobat forms. Since you are aware of the Acrobat User's Community site, have you looked at Thom Parker's tutorial on "Creating Radio CheckBoxes", http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_radio_check_box/ . I have found his tutorials well written and he provides very good example forms.
