How to create an option group with multi-selectable check boxes

Hello,
Can someone please help me with creating an option group of check boxes in
which I can select multiple check boxes at the same time? It seems that the
option group that Access Wizard just allows me to select only one check box
a time.
Thanks,
Rocky

If you want to select more than one, don't place them in an option group. If
you want to, you can place a rectangle around them so that they look like an
option group. Before you do that, though, consider the fact that being able
to select only one item in an option group is standard Windows behaviour, so
making your independent check boxes look too much like an option group may
confuse some users.

Thanks, Brenda. But I think radio buttons are for single-selection and
check-boxes may be used for multible-selection purpose.
