How do you apply a default value to an Option Group?

I have an option group with four choices and I would like to have one of
those choices to be the default value for every new record created. In the
"Properties" dialog box there is a choice for a default value. When I enter
the option value for the choice I want to use it doesn't show as being
checked in the new record. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jim
 
What are your individual option values? Usually they would be 1, 2, 3, 4.
Default Value of 1 should show optOne as checked on a NEW record.
It will not apply to any previous records, or any record created before the Default was
applied.
 
Those are my option values. I used optTwo as my default but the box doesn't
show as checked for new records. The form that the Option Group is on is one
of multiple pages (tabs). Would this be part of the problem?
 
Jim,
You wouldn't use "optTwo" as the default, you would use the actual value of optTwo,
which is 2.
Just place a 2 in the DefaultValue for the Group.
If all is as you say, that should do it.
