Sorry if this is a naive question. I have seen web forms in which you select
a tick box if multiple options are allowed and where radio buttons are used
if unique responses are required. Is this possible in Access Forms too - and
if so - how?

Thanks

In Access we have three controls: OptionGroup, CheckBox and OptionButton.

You'll find these in the Toolbox menu bar (Access 2003) as the 5th, 7th
and 8th (btw, how do you write eigthth?) icon.

CheckBoxes and OptionButtons allow multiple selection, as a long as you
don't place them into a OptionGroup. In an OptionGroup only one member
can be active.

But we don't want to encourage you to use the wrong semantics: do not
go down the road of having exclusive checkboxes or multiselect
radiobuttons.

Ahh, I always found these options somewhat strange...
