Please help and would be greatly appreciated. 

I have a form that I input a value from 1 to 9.  value input can be 1, 1-2, 2, 2-3, 3, 3-4, 4, so on up to 8-9, 9.

when the value is inputted (from 1 to 9) , can I make a form that automatically puts a check mark on the appropriate check box?  I have three check mark box which are mild, moderate and severe.

to clarify here is example:

in the text box type in 3 and the mild check box will get checked automatically.  if value is updated to 8-9 "severe" check mark box will be checked.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help.

Use this code as the custom validation script of "VAS1":

var vas = event.value;
var cb = this.getField("Check box 1");
if (vas=="1" || vas=="1-2" || vas=="2" || vas=="2-3" || vas=="3") cb.value = "mild";
else if (vas=="3-4" || vas=="4" || vas=="4-5" || vas=="5" || vas=="5-6" || vas=="6") cb.value = "moderate";
else if (vas=="6-7" || vas=="7" || vas=="7-8" || vas=="8" || vas=="8-9" || vas=="9") cb.value = "severe";
else cb.value = "Off";

Which values correspond with each check-box?

What are the names (and export values) of the fields involved?

Mild check box will be values of 1; 1-2; 2; 2-3; 3

Field Name: Check box 1; export value mild

Moderate check box will be values of 3-4; 4; 4-5; 5; 5-6; 6

Field Name: Check box 1; export value moderate

And severe check box will be vlaues of 6-7; 7; 7-8; 8; 8-9; 9.

Field Name: Check box 1; export value severe

Name of text box getting the value from1 to 9 is VAS1.
