Limit check box choice to only one in table row.

[DKinsley]

In the linked form below, I would like users to only be able to select one check box per row. Is there a way or script to accomplish this?

Hi,

Here are a few examples:

Hope that helps,

You can also use radio buttons instead of checkboxes.

In your case you could merge the four cells you're using for checkboxes and then put a subform that is flowed Left to Right in the resulting large cell. Then create a radio button group of four buttons that have no captions and drop it in the subform. You can then adjust the margins of the buttons to get them to line up properly. You won't get the column lines between the buttons but I don't think that's a necessity.

Niall,

I appreciate your reply but the example you sent showa a checkbox in each row created dynamically. My form has four checkboxes in the same row, one in each column. I don't know how to change the script when the checkboxes are all in the same row, each in a different column.

Hi,

Jono is right, because you are looking for an exclusion group in a row, placing radio buttons within a subform will give you the functionality you want. In addition you can set the visual appearance to squares. Lastly, if you use the subform approach, then you should be able to use vertical lines (however this will be a bit messy).

Good luck,

Niall

There wouldn't be any columns after the cells are merged, that's how it works with the radio buttons.

Here's a sample:

Thank you both for your help with this!
