In this version, I added data validation to just the first field - so you can see what the expression looks like. You'd need to add it to all your fields.

It just displays a message - you should be able to use similar logic for validation rules on each of the fields bound to your checkboxes.

gotcha. but does this stop the form from being submitted or does it just display the message? I would really like it to not submit the form is more than three are selected.

Here's a quick sample - right click the link in the header, save the file locally, right click and select Design to open in design mode, and then you can preview.

My checkboxes use 0 for false and 1 for true, so I can sum them to see how many are selected.

Sorry for the simple question but here it goes. I have a series of 5 check boxes on my form. The user can only select up to three. I'm not sure how to have a validation error show up if the user selects more than three check boxes. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks so much in advance.
