Validating Keyword fields

[akbryer]

I have a keyword field on a form that has two hardcoded keywords. It is a checkbox. I want to make sure that users don't ckeck both boxes. I have tried<br>
If field "A" equals "Keyword1" & "Keyword2" Fail with message.<br>
<br>
I tried both input translation and input validation.<br>
<br>
This has not been working.<br>

Not sure why you would not use "radio button" instead of a checkbox selection. I will look and see if there is another option in ding this. If only one keyword can be used a radio button is what you need to select.<br>

The reason for the check box is to prevent users making a selection that they can't take back. If, for example, a user makes a selection from this particular radiobox keyword field and then decides to deselect all they are stuck. Therefore the checkbox.<br>
<br>
In order to prevent users from making more than one selection I need to validate that the field only has on choice selected.<br>
<br>
Again, thanks for your response. I appreciate your assistance.<br>

How about making a third-entry and using the radio button<br>
method. Include your two hard-code choices and a third<br>
called "None" or "Unknown"???<br>

Thanks for your response. That's a possible idea. Another possibility I learned from another developer is to use @Elements to count the items and if the is more than one element returns a failure message and if less (in my case) than two @success.<br>
<br>
Thanks, again. <br>
