Option Group problems

Tony

Good morning, everyone...Question: I have an option group
with radio buttons and checkboxes. I have a radio button
selected by default. When I click on any other radio
button or checkbox, they are not selected...it's probably
a simple thing I am overlooking, but I don't seem to find
the cause. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tony.

That's what's supposed to happen, Tony. You can only select one control
within an option group. If you want to be able to select more than one,
don't put them in an option group.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.

Let me re-phrase it. If I want to make a different choice
than the one selected by default, I click on it, but it
doesn't select it, so the default choice remains selected.

Brendan, thank you for replying...What I meant was that if
I want to choose a different radio button, it doesn't let
me...so, I am stuck with the default choice. Tony

Jackie, yes, they are part of an option group. They have
a progressive option value: 1,2,3. The frame default
value is 1. when I click on the radio button with option
value 2, it doesn't selected (not visibly). Thanks, Tony

Tony,
Make sure your buttons are actually option group values.
Click to expand...
You can add a check box without it being a part of the
group. Check the properties of your check box for an
Option value (second row). Each box needs to have a
different value (1,2,3, etc). If you do not see an option
value, then copy the default box, paste and change the
option value.

Yes, Jackie, I tried re-creating the option group in a new
database. Only one form, one option group with 2 options
and it does the same thing. Thanks for your time with
this. Tony

Tony,
This may seem obvious, but have you tried recreating the

option box? What value is your table saving? Is there
anything attached in the properties like code that may be
making the value reset to 1?
