I have two checkboxes and at least one of the boxes must be checked in order to pass the edit check but I can't get it to work properly!

If I check at least one of the boxes, the message still appears as if NEITHER box is checked. So it doesn't matter whether I check a box or not the message appears!

The syntax is on a Edit Button that also check for other things which all works. This is the only one that I can't get to work properly!

if ((form1.subPage3.subApply25.ckbQuest26dol.rawValue == 0) || (form1.subPage3.subApply25.ckbQuest26call.rawValue == 0)) {
xfa.host.messageBox("At lease one is required.", "Warning", "1")
exit;
}

Please help and thanks

I believe the syntax for the logical "OR" operator in LiveCycle Designer is "or".

Pat,

In this case you would have to think about all the possible values and test for them:
ckbQuest26dol = 1 AND ckbQuest26call = 0
OR
ckbQuest26dol = 0 AND ckbQuest26call = 1

But I would shorten you code and just add the values of the two checkboxes together and if the sum is less than 1 then throw the message.

I did write the following in Javascript.

//add the values of the two checkboxes.
var oChecked = (CheckBox1.rawValue + CheckBox2.rawValue);

//if the sum is less than 1 throw the message.
if (oChecked < 1)
{
xfa.host.messageBox("At lease one is required.", "Warning", "1");
}

Hi,

Although I couldn't get the Or, or, nor the || to work I thank gkaiseri for your suggestion. I will continue to work on it for I am sure it is something I am overlooking!

AND, Thanks formman...your way WORKED! I'm happy, my boss is happy, and I am on my way to completing yet another form.

Again, thanks to both for your input. Enjoy your week!

Pat
