Radio Button Values

[srideout2525]

On my report I am pulling values from radio buttons: 1, 2, 3 and 4.

How can I assign the numbers values and have them appear on the report:

for example:

1 = Terminal to Terminal
2 = Door to Terminal
3 = Terminal to Door
4 = Door to Door

Do I need another table? to pull these values from? or...any help or suggestions? thx

There are several ways. My preferred way is to use a table. Then your forms and reports are based on queries that join to the lookup table to obtain the text value. Two other ways are:
1. A case statement in a user defined function:

Public Function GetTripType(TripTypeCD as Integer) As String
Select Case TripTypeCD
Case 1
    GetTripType = "Terminal to Terminal"
Case 2
    GetTripType = "Door to Terminal" 
Case 3
    GetTripType = "Terminal to Door"
Case 4
    GetTripType = "Door to Door" 
Case Else
    GetTripType = "Error"
End Select
End Function

2. A Choose() function
= Choose([TripTypeCD], "Terminal to Terminal", "Door to Terminal","Terminal to Door", "Door to Door")
