    After some testing, I agree with Mike.

    You may need to have a radio button instead and if you like the look of the checkboxes, then make them to be formulas based on the radio button (multiple choice) field.

Try unchecking the box at the bottom of the form rule, so that the rule fires "all the time".

Hi Mark,
I should have mentioned that I do have that box unchecked for both rules.

    I think I had this same problem and couldn't solve. It will probably work in one direction, but not both. The problem, I believe, is that when you try to click the second checkbox, they are momentarily both checked, and the first rule in the dynamic rules forms and keeps unchecking the same box.

        I may have gotten it to work by leaving the box checked so the rules DONT fire all the time. Meaning only when there is a change. I haven't tested in a while and cant remember if I finally got it to work. Either way, I ended up abandoning the entire try and going in a different direction, but in my head it should work if it only fires when it is changed?
