    Check Box Controls

    I have 3 check boxes on forma and once a user selects one, I want the other two check boxes to be disabled and not be selected utiil the 1st is deselected.Can this be accomplished through conditional formatting or rules? If so, how?

     Thanks

    Why not use radio buttons  instead? They work this way by default - only one can be selected at a time.

    But sure, you can do this with conditional formatting. On Checkbox 2 &3, have conditional formatting that disables them if 1 is equal to true. On Checkbox 1 & 2, have conditional formatting that disables them if 3 is equal to true. On Checkbox 1 & 3, have conditional formatting that disables them if 2 is equal to true.

    If I have data connections associated w/ each checkbox ... will radio buttons work the same way?

    I'm not sure what you mean about data connections - is your form database bound (i.e., created off a database?).

    At any rate, a set of radio buttons is all bound to the same node. So if you require separate fields for each option for some reason, you will be stuck with using conditional formatting as described above.
