Check Box Validation in Offline Form

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have a requirement in an offline form where I have six check boxes, and out of the six check boxes

user can only select any three.

Request you to please suggest how to achieve this.

Warm Regrads,

Hi Upendra ,

I think you can write the validation code in the exit event of each check box. Inside the exit event write a code to count the number of checks. if it is greater than 3 then clear the check box and give the error message.

Hi Upendra,

Declare variables via---

Edit->Form Properties->Variables(tab)

You can add variables there.
