I have been creating a document with the help of those here and it is
coming along- thank you.

I am at the point in my form field document where I have a set of 13
check boxes in a row. I would like to set it up so that when a person
tabs into the first box, a message window pops up asking a YES or NO
question. A click on the YES button should clear the X-defaulted box
and a NO answer leaves it with the default X value.

After the person chooses either YES or NO, the X is either entered or
not and then they move to the next box and are asked another question
with similar results - leaving an X or not.

How can this be accomplished? Is there a tutorial I can be referred to
as in the past?

Thank again, as always.
 
While I admire your originality, this is not the way checkboxes in
forms are supposed to work, and your users are going to be left
scratching their heads.

Normally, you place all the text of the question directly in the form
next to the checkbox. The user either clicks directly on the checkbox
or tabs to it and presses the spacebar to check/uncheck it.

If the text is too big for your available space, or if the questions
may need some clarification, you can add help text to each checkbox.
In the checkbox's Properties dialog, click the Add Help Text button
and add F1 help, which will pop up when the field is selected and the
user presses F1.
