You should option buttons for that, not checkboxes. When end users see checkboxes, they assume that both can be checked. Option buttons means you only select one. |

Hi Sue, Thanks for the tips. Dou you have another book for intermediate users, I have the jumperstart for power users and adm. I could use the option buttons in the form, but in the reader form the value is not passed as was mark in the redaction form. I use the same name for these fields in both forms. Do I need any more? |

What two forms? What do you mean by "the reader form"? Is this a message form? If so, is it published to the Organizational Forms library? My books are for novice to intermediate users. |

Until it's published, it won't work as expected. |
