Default Microsoft Access Formulas

Hoping someone here is better at these than i am. Im currently trying to setup a database to help us find out where our business is coming from (i.e. what advertising is working best). So, i have columns set up for each place where we advertise.
I need to enter a rule that makes sure only one can be ticked for each client (i.e. you cant say that they found us from both Phone Book and TV), but i cant work out what that rule is.

The example in the Help section is that >9 = Must be 10 or more.

Basically, i need to enter it so that once on box is ticked, you cannot tick another. Anyone got any idea what the formula for that is?!

Kinda need this ASAP.

how i would do it is just use one column instead of so many different columns. and set it up as a combo box (drop down list thing) that way you can only select one from the list.

My memory is fuzzy on this but like John said, I think radio buttons would be the way to go. I think it might be in the Marcro section (like how you start with a window for Tables, Queries, Macros, etc)

Check out VisualBasic stuff in the Help section, and steal some of the example code. That's what I did :reverend: Also a floating toolbar came up which gave you options for text boxes, buttons, etc.

Hope that made sense, rather than just being a post+1 for me
