How would I make it so that when someone selects one check box, the selections block out? For example, if there are three options and a user selects one. We would like it so that the other two are not selectable.

I ended up just using a drop down instead and it's working...

there is a way of doing it. you can create two copies of each checkbox and hide/show them in your field rules accordingly. for example when you choose first check box, show other two check boxes that are read only and hide the other two that are not read only.

This will look like that other checkboxes are disabled.

Would using a radio button field instead of a check box field suffice?

I would but the only problem is that I'm using a field rule. So when one of the options is selected, there's a clarification box that opens. But that hasn't worked for me with Radio buttons.

Radio buttons should work the same as drop-down list or Check boxes when using field rules. If it is not, there could be a possibility of the existing field rules taking precedence and cancelling out the functionality of the radio button field rule.
