        f5.value = "off";
        f6.value = "off";
        f7.value = "off";
        f8.value = "off";
        return;
    } 

    if (event.target === f2) {
        f1.value = "off";
        f3.value = "off";
        f4.value = "off";
        return;
    }

    if (event.target === f3) {
        f1.value = "off";
        f2.value = "off";
        f4.value = "off";
        f5.value = "off";
        f6.value = "off";
        f7.value = "off";
        f8.value = "off";
        return;
    }   

    if (event.target === f4) {
        f1.value = "off";
        f2.value = "off";
        f3.value = "off";
        f5.value = "off";
        f6.value = "off";
        f7.value = "off";
        f8.value = "off";
        return;
    } 

 

function sublistcontrol()
{

    var f1 = getfield("eligible activity 1");
    var f2 = getfield("eligible activity 2");
    var f3 = getfield("eligible activity 3");
    var f4 = getfield("eligible activity 4");
    var f5 = getfield("lcb sublist 1");
    var f6 = getfield("lcb sublist 2");
    var f7 = getfield("lcb sublist 3");
    var f8 = getfield("lcb sublist 4");
   
    if (event.target === f5) {
        f1.value = "off";
        f3.value = "off";
        f4.value = "off";
        f6.value = "off";
        f7.value = "off";
        f8.value = "off";
        return;
    } 

    if (event.target === f6) {
        f1.value = "off";
        f3.value = "off";
        f4.value = "off";
        f5.value = "off";
        f7.value = "off";
        f8.value = "off";
        return;
    } 

    if (event.target === f7) {
        f1.value = "off";
        f3.value = "off";
        f4.value = "off";
        f5.value = "off";
        f6.value = "off";
        f8.value = "off";
        return;
    } 

    if (event.target === f8) {
        f1.value = "off";
        f3.value = "off";
        f4.value = "off";
        f5.value = "off";
        f6.value = "off";
        f7.value = "off";
        return;
    } 
}

 

however no matter try, can not 'eligible activity 2' box check if 1 selects 1 of sublists checkboxes. have tried including follwoing sublistcontrol code

 

if (event.target === f5) {

        f1.value = "off";

        f2.value = "on"; (also tried f2.value = "yes";)

        f3.value = "off";

        f4.value = "off";

        f6.value = "off";

        f7.value = "off";

        f8.value = "off";

        return;

 

but not work. can suggest solution??

 

kind regards

you need use export value of box, although better way use checkthisbox() method, so:

f2.checkthisbox(0,true);
