Require text instead of option value in an options group

[AshikHusein]

I have an Options Group on a form with two option radio buttons.

When an option radio button is filled, it updates the field with the option value instead of the text. Is there an way I can update the tabl with the Text instead the option value?

Only if you want to use an unbound control. That means that you would need to populate the control when the record loads as well as updating the field when the control is changed.

Thanks for the reply. it is a bound control and so I have now used a combox instead. It is always better to use a simpler "as efficient" solution at times and in this case the combobox was a better solution as per my thinking.

I agree. I rarely use bound option groups. I use combos for most selection tasks. I use option groups for selection options like "print or view" on a form that is used to open a report.
