Thanks for the help so far from this forum. I am new to LiveCycle.

I have a set of 3 Radio Buttons that represent categories of projects. When one of the radio buttons is on, I want the user to only be able to choose from a set of checkboxes representing sub-categories of the selected category.

I have tried placing a calculate script on each subcategory such as:
----
if (Cat_1_RadioBtn.rawValue == 1 || Cat_3_RadioBtn.rawValue==1) then

SubCat_2a_ChckBox.rawValue = 0; // If Category 1 or 3 is checked then a subcategory of Category 2 cannot be checked.

else

SubCat_2a_ChckBox.rawValue >= 0; // If Cat 1 or 3 is not check then Cat 2 is checked and the user can select from several subcategories of Cat 2.

endif
----

I have had issue with this when Category 2 is on, I still cannot check SubCat_2a. Is there a way to set the rawValue to "user selection"?

The '>=' operator is not a set operator but a comparison operator like the '==' operator.SubCat_2a_ChckBox.rawValue >= 0;
Will result in a value of true or false and nothing else.

Thanks. This appears to be the issue. I haven't been able to find a way to do my else statement so that the user can select on (1) OR off (0). Any suggestions?
