Option Group

[srideout2525]

I have an option group on my form. I have two check boxes, yes and no. Everything appears to be linked, I used the wizard. But when I load the form and begin to fill in fields I am unable to check eiether box. Anyone know why this happens and how I could possibly fix it.

As soon as I click the area of the option group, a new record is beginning to create, as an autonumber appears, but no selection occurs in these check boxes.

HELP,....ASAP....I guess thats the way things go when someone wants it done yesterday.

Thanks

In fact, it shows in the tables as though I had checked it. So I don;t get it.

Make sure that the option box is bound to the correct field that can hold the correct data type. Options by default give you a numeric value to store (although you can change this with VBA) and in general they number sequentially ie 1,2 etc.

If, however, you have this linked to a yes/no field, Yes is actually -1 and no is 0 (I'm sure) so change your option values accordingly or use a different field type to store the values in.

Just like my kids, leaving everything til the last minute (mind you, you are not alone in here - just think yourself lucky that 'MY JOB DEPENDS ON THIS')
