property not found?

[Samalia]

I'm trying to write some code that will make it so that when the user clicks on one checkbox, that the other can't be selected as well, and if the user then tries to select the other one, the first checkbox gets unselected. This is the code I'm using, and foxpro, during runtime, tells me that it can't find the property chkBillable, which is the name of one of the checkboxes.

if this.chkBillable = .f.
this.chkWarrantyWork = .t.
if this.chkBillable = .t.
this.chkWarrantyWork = .f.
endif
endif

thisform.refresh()

Where is this code? located.

if it is in the form,then:

if this.chkBillable.value = .f.

if it is in the interactive change:

if this.value = .f.

Where in the form should it go? If put it in the init i can select both at the same time.

Wouldn't an option group make more sense here?

Fist, like Ali said, the reason you're getting the error is because you need to add .Value to the statement so that Fox knows what property of the class you're talking about:
if this.chkBillable.Value = .f.

Now if you aren't going to use an option group, you will need to duplicate the code in one of the events such as Interactive Change or Valid, which when the user selects one check box, will toggle the others. You can use a form method for the work, but the code call to the method will have to be somewhere where each of the checkboxes will call it.
