Hi!

New to Adobe LiveCycle. Wondering how to setup a form which has a section with 5 check boxes and to only allow one choice (disabling the rest when one is selected).

Thanks!

You better use radio buttons for this task.

You can design your radio buttons as boxes and use a checkmark as the select symbol if you really need for them to look like check boxes. On the Object pallet, go to the Field tab and choose a square for Appearance. Under Button Style, choose check.

Some form designers don't recommend this, though, because users are accustomed to the round radio-button shape meaning you can only select one while the square shape means you can select more than one if you wish.
