Hi all,

Could anyone please help me?

I have 6 checkboxes called CheckBox3 CheckBox4 CheckBox5 CheckBox6 CheckBox7 and CheckBox8. When the learner ticked any of those checkboxes, I would like to add the value of 45 to the textbox called Text21. If a learner ticks more than one checkbox, the value is still 45. If the learner does not tick any of the checkboxes, the vaue in Text21 is to be 0.

How would I action this?

You can do it using this code as the custom calculation script of Text21:

var anyFieldTicked = false;
for (var i=3; i<=8; i++) {
	if (this.getField("CheckBox"+i).valueAsString!="Off") {anyFieldTicked = true; break;}
}
event.value = anyFieldTicked ? 45 : 0;

Thank you so much, that worked. You are amazing!

Could I be a pain and ask what would be the script if I wished to change it to award different values based on the checkbox you ticked. So CheckBox3 award 10, CheckBox4 award 20, CheckBox5 award 30, CheckBox6 award 15, CheckBox7 award 30 and CheckBox8 award 45 to the textbox called Text21?
