option groups

I've set up several option groups using radio buttons, but I would like to
change them to check boxes. Is there a way to easily make this change
without having to start over?

Thank you.

Click to expand...

In design view select each one and go to the menubar Format_ Change To...
CheckBox.

Be aware though that in an Option Group choices are mutually exclusive (you
can only check one) and the Windows GUI convention for this is a radio
button. Normal practice is that if more than one option can be True, use a
CheckBox and if only one can be True, use a Radio Button. You run the
risk of confusing your users if you deviate from this.
