Disabling Check Boxes on a form

Hello Everyone.

I am trying to figure out how to do the following: When a check box is
clicked several other checkboxes are disabled.  For example I have a
box that says "Choose the problem:". When "No problem" is checked, I'd
like the actual problem check boxes (technical difficulty, set up
problem, etc.) to become disabled.  I am using JScript and am pretty
familiar with the syntax, I just can't find the right events to set up
for when the check box is clicked.

Thank you,
Blaine

Hi,

Using conditional formatting you can do this.

Follow below steps.

1. Double click on the "choose the problem " check box.
2. Click on "Display" tab.
3. Click on "Conditional formatting".
4. Click on "Add" button.
5. In the first drop down select "No problem" check box field and slect
"equal to" option in second drop down and select "True" or "false" value(i.e,
you need to select value you set "value when checked" in "No Problem" check
box properties.
6. check the "Disable this controle" check box.
6. Click on "Ok" until you close the properties wizard.

Now it will work what you want.
You need to do vice-versa if you want disable "No problem" check when we
select " choose the problem" check box.

Thank you for your reply! I am trying to use this method, unforunately
I've run into some problems. I'm trying to work them out but
essentially I am unable to get the checkboxes to actually disable
themselves when the value is true on another box.  The conditional
formatting seems like it is not working correctly.  I'm sure I'll
figure it out, but it is definitely confusing me right now.

Thanks again for your help. I think I was looking for a much more
complicated answer than necessary! :)
