Hi Community,

I have a Word form that contains checkboxes. I'd like to set up the
checkboxes so that users would only be able to check one box per category.
For example, I have a category called "Hair Color" and there's six choices;
if a user selects one choice, I'd like to prevent the user from selecting any
other checkbox in that category. Is this possible? I'm running Word 2003 SP1
on Windows XP Pro.
 
Thank you *very much*, Suzanne! :)

I've currently got another post out to see if the VB code can be changed so
a table will allow frames. I've got a bunch of forms that contain checkboxes
set up in tables, so that's my other quandary. :(

Thank you again for the help!

I saw that post, and I don't think you're going to get much joy out of that
one; I don't believe you can put a frame in a table, nor will you be able to
float the frame over the table (as you could a text box). I think you'll
have to rethink your layout.
