Disable a Check box
I was wondering if it was possible to disable a check box once another check
box has been selected. Eg. I have a Walk-in Assissted and Walk-in Self-selected - obviously they cannot both be selecte and I dont want staff to be able to select both |

Re: Disable a Check box
You have 2 yes/no fields: one for WalkInAssisted, and another for
WalkInSelfSelected. The user can choose one or the other, but not both? If so, can I suggest you use *one* field, with a combo to choose which one it was? That's a really simple solution that avoids the problem. As a bonus, it makes it really easy to add a 3rd option later (i.e. you just add an item to the combo, and you don't have to redesign your tables and queries and forms and reports to add another field.) Using a lookup list of values (the combo) instead of multiple yes/no fields is an important database design principle.
