Is there an easy script to verify that at least one of a group of checkboxes is marked?

For instance, my form has a checkbox to say whether a person requires a regular medical treatment. If it's checked, then the user should have to check one or more boxes corresponding to days of the week on which treatment is received.

Are you using Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer to create your form?

The answer to your question is yes, but when (in response to what?) do you want the code to run?

I'm using LiveCycle Designer 8.2.

I can use the onChange event of a checkbox to change whether other controls on the form become required, but I don't know how to easily validate that "at least one of this group of checkboxes is checked" before the form gets submitted. I don't know if that should be part of the validate event or the preSubmit event.
