Hi,
I created an option group that have 8 check boxes and I need to choice more
than one checkbox, but when I check one the other is unchecked and so on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Paulo
 
Pasmatos,
Don't use an option group to contain your checkboxes. Just place 8 individual
checkboxes on the form. Then. you can check or uncheck 1 or more boxes at one time.
But, beware... you'll have to do a "geometrically" large amount of coding, if you need
to "interrogate" 8 checkboxes. Ex. is 1 True and 2 True and 3 False, or 1 False, 2 True...
and on and on and on.
Explain what your trying to do with these 8 checkboxes. Perhaps we can find a more
efficient way to accomplish what you want.

The option group is bounded to a field in a table, in that field you can
store only one value, and this is why you can't select more then one check
box.

If you want to be able to select more then one value, you'll need to create
a field in the table for each selection True/False, and then in the form
create a check box for each one of this fields, without the option group.
 
Al,
I created 8 unbound checkboxes in a form and I put a command button to run a
event that verify which checkboxes are check and for each one (if is checked)
I need to run diferent code...
I think that I became to understand.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, once the chcekboxes are all "separate" you'll have to examine them (by code)
differently than when they existed in an Option Group.
I think you said you were OK with my solution... good luck.
