How do I set up an option button in and Outlook form?

[Clur5]

I have created an application form in Outlook and want to use 'option
buttons' or 'check boxes' for some of the decisions. I have been able to
create them ok in my form design, but when I publish it they're not working
properly.

They are working when I complete the form, but when I send the form back to
myself to check functionality, all the completed application data has been
saved apart from the selected option buttons.

I am quite new to this and not quite sure if I have my values set correctly,
any help will be appreciated.

By "an application form," do you mean a custom Outlook message form? If so,
check these two issues:

1) The form must be published to the Organizational Forms library or each
user's Personal Forms library with the "send form definition with item" box
on the Properties page unchecked.

2) Each control that you want to use to collect and display Outlook data
should be bound to an Outlook field on both the compose and read layouts.
