How do you set up checkboxes to automatically get selected IF and when another one is checked?

I am pretty new to LiveCycle Designer. I'm working with version 8.0. I need to have one column with checkboxes and another with checkboxes that automatically check if a particular box from the first column is selected. Can anyone advise? *THANKS!*

Jamie, I am not sure about 8.0, but in 7.2 you can set your Checkbox binding (under Object) to Global (Default Binding). The CheckBoxes must have the same name though (e.g. CheckBox1[0], CheckBox1[1]. This is the easiest way. I also suggest to make the CheckBoxes in the 2nd column to Read Only, then only the 1st Column can be checked. If the CheckBoxes must be named differently, you can also write script to do this. Hope this helps.

This was the best explanation I have found. People talk about having same name and it will mirror each But I couldn't figure out how they did it. Thank you so much!!!!.
