checkbox - 09 May 2006 20:23 GMT

Hi,
I would like to know how do i clear the other checkbox when i selected one.
For example if i have six checkboxes, i should be alowed to check only one of
the six not all of them. If there is any code involved could you please help
me in directing me to where i can find similar thing?
Thank you.

Have you looked at using option buttons instead this is the default
behavior of that control?

I agree with what Si said, but if you can't do that, use rules in the
properties box. You'll have to write 5 rules for each check box to set the
other fields as unchecked.

You could have a field that counts the amount of checked fields and use a
messagebox to display if more than one is ticked.

Quite simple and means you dont need 5 rules
