Hi,

I've got a form with 5 checkboxes (in one subform).

I want my users to make a choise; they may only click one checkbox. If they have choosen and they change their mind and click another checkbox, all the others will be unchecked.

Can anyone advice me how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Typically you would want to use radio buttons for that type of functionality - is there a reason you need them to be checkboxes instead?

Hi Francis,

Here is an article on creating Radio Check boxes from the Learning Center here at AUC- it shows how you can have check boxes that act like radio buttons. In addition to the tutorial, there are links to download an example AcroForm and LiveCycle Designer PDF so you can examine the code to see how it is done.

Hope this helps,
