Mutually Exclusive Check Boxes

T

TechWriter

In Word forms, can check box selections be made mutually exclusive? Meaning,
if I check one box, the other check boxes are deselected.

At its simplest, the following macro run on exit from Check1 will set Check2
& 3 false if Check1 is true.
You can run similar macros from each field to set the values of the others.

Sub isChecked()
With ActiveDocument
If .FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True Then
.FormFields("Check2").CheckBox.Value = False
.FormFields("Check3").CheckBox.Value = False
End If
End With
End Sub
