Option Box not showing default

[Guest]

I did a copy and paste on a group of option boxes from one form to another.
Now the properties on the pasted group does show what the default is set to
but the dot does not appear in the option to show that it is the default.
Why?

Thanks as always - you folks are the best!

The option boxes may not actually be part of the option group. Make sure
that the group background goes black as you paste objects on it. If it
doesn't, the new objects are not part of the group.

Pat,

How can I tell if I have already done the paste? When I did the copy, I
made certain I grabbed the entire group. If this is the problem, how do I
make the objects part of the group? When I click on any of the options, it
does update to the table so I thought all was well.

Thanks, Kent

Click on the option button control and when you move over the group, the
group background should change color. That's how you know you are getting
the new option in the group. If the group doesn't change color, it is not
"accepting" the new option.

Ok, I understand what you are saying. And there are no color changes on my
groups. In order to get things to look right in the table, I went through
and set all of them to a default of '3' to equal what the default value
should be in the group. Is this safe? It does work and appears to be fine.
If this is not safe, would I need to rebuild the entire form? I have over 20
different option groups.

Thanks for your assistance.
