checking and unchecking radio buttons

[tgarber]

I have a form that needs to offer making more than one selection using 2 radio buttons. But I want the user to be able to change his/her mind if they decide to only select one of the buttons after they have already check both buttons. Right now, if they check both buttons, they are stuck with that choice.

Is there a way to check a button and then uncheck it with another mouse click?

Thanks, Tom

First up welcome to the forum.

It sounds as if there may be some code behind the On Click event of Radio Button that is locking it, as this doesn't sound like the typical behaviour for this type of button.

Well, thanks! It's nice to be here.

I'm a novice at forms. I've been using coffee cup's web form generator. It's a great program, but I don't think it covers enough info on what a radio button can or cannot do. Is it possible to check and then uncheck a radio button?

Go see what I'm going for. It's at the bottom of the form. The buttons "2010 Packages" and "2010 Memorabilia" can both be checked. But if someone decides to uncheck one, I want them to be able to do that.

Radio buttons don't uncheck. Use checkboxes if you want them to be able to check and uncheck.

duh.... I should have thought of that.... thanks!

In an option group this is true. However the OP talks about the user selecting two buttons which is not possible in an Option Group.

However Radio Buttons placed individually on the form can be clicked and unclicked and even have triple state.

I am assuming that when we talk Radio Button we mean Option Button

So we also have this part:

So it appears that we are talking WEB form and not ACCESS form. Which then I think we're back to the option not unchecking.
