I am trying to figure out how to check if one check box out of a group is atleast checked before the file will print or be submitted? for example i have a list of 8 categories and atleast one or more has to be checked before sending or printed to be faxed to make sure we get valid data back. would love to get this answered asap

thanks

Since you are using Acrobat 8 pro with Windows, which form product are you using, Acrobat form or LiveCycle Designer?

LiveCycle Desinger has a "Scripting Reference" under its "Help" menu option.

You can get documentation for versions 5 - 8 at[url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.php]JavaScript for Acrobat[/url] . And [url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en/A_re-introduction_to_JavaScript]Mozilla JavaScript] will help with the JavaScript not covered by the Acrobat JavaScript beyond Acrobat's variation.
