Make Checkboxes so that you can only check one out of the choices.

[David27492456emtk]

Hello, 

I am finishing up a project, and I have some questions that require only one answer, but currently all the checkboxes can be checked. 

I am wondering if someone can give me some help as to what mouse up code I need to use so that only one checkbox can be checked per question? '

I am guessing this can be achieved with a Mouse up code, but I am completely ignorant in Java. 

Thank you so much for your time.

The solution is to give all the fields the same name, but different export values. No JavaScript needed.

Will this prevent the other checkboxes being checked? Will they all show up as checked?
