Setting Mutually Exclusive Check Boxes as required to be completed

[Guest]

I HAVE BUILT A FORM USING MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE CHECK BOXES TO ALLOW ONLY ONE OF
THREE OPTIONS TO BE SELECTED. I WAS ABLE TO REQUIRE TEXT FIELDS TO BE
COMPLETED BEFORE YOU CAN MOVE TO THE NEXT FIELD. IS THERE A WAY TO DO THIS
FOR A GROUP OF MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE CHECKBOXES?

I ALSO PLAYED WITH A DROP-DOWN BOX TO SEE IF I COULD ACCOMPLISH THIS AND WAS
UNSUCCESSFUL. IS THERE A WAY TO SET IT SO THAT IF A DEFAULT, SUCH AS 'SELECT
ONE' OR 'BLANK', IS NOT CHANGED TO ONE OF THE ITEMS IN THE DROP-DOWN BOX, YOU
WILL BE UNABLE TO MOVE TO THE NEXT FIELD?

I NEED ALL FIELD OPTIONS ON THE FORM TO BE REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED.

Replied to your duplicate question, posted in this group.

Please note that

1. This is a peer-to-peer support group. Everyone here is a
volunteer, so it may take a few days until someone with an
idea "wanders through"

2. Questions concerning macro code should be posted to the
word.vba.general newsgroup. You're more likely to get a
quick response there, than here (a group targeted at
end-users)

3. Include sufficient information about your problem so
that it's easier to understand what you're asking. The
VERSION of Word you're using is always important.

4. Using ALL CAPS is considered to be SHOUTING and
impolite.
