Problem using option button in a template

Guest

I am having difficulty getting all the "option buttons" to work.
HELP!!
I have done a table and put a column in for "Yes", and a column in for "No".
The problem is that when I move down to the next row to answer the next
question, I lose the dot from the previous row(s). This means out of all the
questions I try to answer, there will only be one dot in total.
What have I done wrong??

Thanks

Well, the first mistake was choosing to use option buttons. :) For a
simple yes/no selection, it would make more sense to use a single
check box for each row, and let checked mean yes and unchecked mean
no.

If you want to continue with option buttons, you have some tedious
work ahead. Select each option button, open its Properties dialog, and
put a value in the GroupName property. The two buttons on each row
must get the same value of GroupName, and that must be different from
the value for any other row. For example, the two buttons in row 1
could have the value Q1, and the two buttons in row 2 could have the
name Q2, and so on.
