Access 2007 options group

[Mark Andrews]

I have an access 2007 application with a form with an unbound options group
with three option buttons and the labels that go with each option.

You know how when you select a certian option there is a dotted line box
around the text of the label, on mine sometimes the dotted line box shows
around 2 options (sometimes not).

Anyone know how to fix this weird behavior? It is not a show stopper but
just kinda annoying?

I am making other control visible/hidden when each option is pressed.

Thanks,
Mark

You probably inadvertently made the label bigger than it should be. Bring the
form in design mode, select a label and choose Shrink to Fit. Repeat for the
other labels.

Mark,

I have also noticed this when I have had another control (Text box,
Combo box, etc) within the Option Group box. Usually setting the
Format option for those other controls to 'Send to Back' fixes it.
Might be worth a try.

Tom/Peter,

Thank you both for your suggestions.

Tom, that was a good guess but not my issue.

Peter, I tried your's as well and it didn't help, but it lead me to the
solution which was
once I resized the option group frame so it was just around the option
buttons it worked fine.
Guess I should of tried that before posting the question.

I'll just make the options group transparent and use a box to encompass the
options and the other controls.
Weird one.

Thanks,
Mark
