Thanks Don,

That works OK up to a point: the problem I have is that if P1F6 is set to "Y", it must be unchecked before either of the two can be checked or am I doing something wrong?

If by radio buttons you mean fields in which if one is on the others are off, it seems fairly simple to me, perhaps because I deal in simple structures.

I have created a test database which has U1 fields P1F4, P1F5 and P1F6.

Each of them has a formula associated with it, in this form (for P1F4)
IF (P1F5 = "Y")
OR (P1F6 = "Y")
THEN "" ELSE "Y"
ENDIF

these are set to change when modified.
If you enter anything in any one of them, it reads "Y", and the others switch to "".

Hi Brian,

I have a sort of solution for radio buttons:

Each of my check boxes are U1 fields.

To their right is a label field which has a "]" & the response Question Wording and to the right of that a GZ field which is 1 if the U1 is "X" otherwise 0. Another field sums the GZ's to keep a tally of how many boxes have been checked.

To the left of the U1 fields is a conditional A1 field which is either ASCII 249 or "[".

If the selection is multiple option, any available boxes can be checked.

If the option is Lickert, once a box has been checked, the "[" associated with the other boxes turn to ASCII 249 so no further entry is possible.

If the user changes their mind, they must uncheck the checked box which then changes all the other conditional A1 fields back to "[" thus allowing any to be selected again.

OK, not quite Radio Buttons but only one check box is allowed as per Lickert.

What do you think?

Michael
