HELP!  fillable pdf formtry67

I have a section of my document with yes and no checkboxes.  Is there a scrip to require one or the other gets checked per line item?  If i require each box, it doesn't work because they both get clicked.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

If you don't want both to be selectable, you can either use radio buttons instead or use check boxes that have the same field name but different export values. Making a check box required has no effect unless you use a script to check its value.

If you'd like more help, you need to explain what you mean by "required"? Possibilities include required before printing is allowed, before saving is allowed, before submitting via email or to a web server, before continuing on to another part of the form, etc.

Hi George,  Thanks for responding!   Either the yes or the no box per each line item must be checked prior to submitting via email.  I don't know much at all about scripting, so i do need a bit of support here.
