Hi,

While defining the checkbox , u give the default value of the check box as 'X'.

Then it will be checked...

Cheers,

No that i have done already.But the user can still come on selection Screen nd uncheck it.I have to do a validation on selection screen that both can't be unchecked?Please give directions.

Hi,

Befor executing you check for the check boxes to be checked or not.

If one of the check box is checked then u can proceed , if not then give him a error message saying 'Check atleast one checkbox'.

i think you will have to write your logic in the event at selection screen output.

do the validation for if both the check boxes are blank display a error message.

Saket,

Why don't you use radio buttons. Your requirement is exactly the situation radio buttons should be used.
