radio & checkboxes act as text

[swindoncowboy]

Hi,

I've designed a form with check boxes and radio buttons.  When I view it in the designer, however, I can't select them.  They seem to act as regular text.

I made another form yesterday with the same items which work fine.  So, I created a new form with check boxes on them but they don't work either.  I'm guessing there's a security check here?  I've looked in Options but don't see it.

Anybody know how to fix this?

In the File/Form Properties/Preview tab are you render as an interactive form or a print form?

It was a print form, I changed to interactive which fixed it.

thanks again Paul, you are a "diamond geezer"!

I have another problem.

I want to have my form select from sets of radio boxes.

I have two columns with multiple rows.  On each row I want two radio buttons, each with mutual exclusivity.

Yes               No

<radio>          <radio>

At the moment I have this set up but I can select both at the same time and cannot deselect either.

I also need this to be 'mutex' but only for each row, if you know what I mean?

In the hierarchy there is a RadioButtonGroup for each radio button. Drag the radio Button object for the No value into the radioButtonGroup for the Yes value. Now you should only be able to select one.
