I have a form that I would like to email to people as an attachment, have them click on the attachment, check a box on the form and then email the form back to a specified email address.
I think I would need a button that would make sure the box is checked and display a message if not checked, then email the modified file. (Do I also need to save the file first?).
I think it is a basic script that I need in order to do this, however, I am not familiar with JavaScripting.
Is there anyone I could hire to coach me or to write the script for me?

All of what you want to accomplish is poissible using Acrobat Professional and JavaScript. You need an if/else statement on the Submit Form button. If the check box is not checked have an app alert dialog open. Else submit the form to the emaial address you specify.

To help you out, take a look at the JavaScript Specification manual on Adobe's Web site. (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf)
