Inhibit tick boxes

I usually post via AccessMonster, and am curious as to whether you can see my
posts. I posted a suggestion to use an option group, along with some detail
about how to set it up, some eight hours before your posting. Your posting
suggests that my posting was not available to you.

I really don't care one way or the other, but as I said I am curious about
the possible limitations of AccessMonster or any other newsreader. BTW, a
web-based newsreader is my only option from this location.

This will give you the option of using checkboxes or radio buttons or some
other sort of button.
The great thing about the option group is that the user can only select one
choice at a time - you don't need any code to achieve this.

I don't know anything about your database, but if you have many yes/no
fields in that table, your design would benefit from eliminating most of
those yes/no fields.

If you are interested, post back.

I have a form with about 7 tick box controls. What can I do so that once
one
box is ticked the others become inactive and a message pops up that says
"You
can only tick one box at a time"

Would I be better using radio buttons?

Thanks
Tony

Hi Bruce, yes I did get your post and replied. I did what you suggested and
created a table and used an Option group. I see your posts OK?

Tony

Sorry, I wasn't clear that I was asking Jeanette. I saw your replies, so I
know you saw my posts.

Bruce, I did not see your posts until now -about 24 hours later. I use
outlook express.
I am finding very often that after I reply to a post, others have also
replied and it is obvious that they didn't see my post.
Sometimes I find that the OP replies to my posted answer with a response
directed to another 'answerer' that does not show up in my outlook express -
then I realise that someone else must have answered but I can't see their
answer.
I am also finding several times in the last couple of weeks that my answers
don't ever show up on the disucssion group.
I also had the exprience of one of my posts showing up with a cross and a
line through it as if it was one of those posts that are deleted from the
server because they have content that is not allowed on our group.
I also find that other people answer posts that I have answered and there is
another question, but I can't answer straight away due to time differences
while I am asleep and others are awake.

Don't feel singled out Jeanette. I replied to OP in under an hour
and it still hasn't shown up.

No problem, just curious. Unfortunately I have to use a web-based newsreader.
What happens after I post is sometimes a bit of a mystery.
