Option group on form not creating table values
Hi,
My option group with 2 option buttons inside my data entry form both remain ‘locked’ (ie w/greyish filler in ea option button) when I goto enter a new record. How can I remove this so that the option buttons are clear & ready to receive a value from the user?
Thanks!

Open the form in design veiw, select the option group frame (the frame surrounding the option buttons). In the property list of the frame you will find the "Default Value" property. Enter a 0 (zero) as the Default Value. This will cause the option group to be intially empty if the bound field is empty.

Now to get the value of the option group to your table. You enter the Field Name of the table you want the info to be stored into in the Record Source of the Frame control. You can click on each of the option controls within the frame to set their default values of each option control (normally these are numbered in a ascending order, from top to bottom. When the program is in run mode, the value of the option control, when clicked upon, is transfered through the Frame Control into your table.

I hope I explained this well enough for you to understand.

Good Luck,
RDH

thank you! the part about the default value being 0 is what i was looking for.
