Option Buttons

[Emma]

Hello I am trying to create a list of option buttons where the user can only
select one, which would have a value associated with it. I'm using Access
2007 and can't figure out how to make a list of option buttons, I can only
insert one option button at a time.

Thanks Steve, The problem is I don't have the Insert menu on my screen just
icons is there anyway to bring up the menu? The only icon I see is the one
with a single option button.

You should have a Option Group control icon on the ribbon where you found the
option button.
You need to pout the option group control on the form first, then add the
buttons. If you have wizards turned on, it will walk you through adding
buttons, text, option values, etc.

Are you sure you aren't describing a tab control, Steve?
I don't have 2007 here, so I can't double check, but that sounds more like a
tab control. I haven't worked with 07 that much, yet, but in 2003 an option
group control is a square with the letters xyz at the top.

The option group is on the design tab, Controls section, and looks like a
square with 'xyz' in the top line.
On my machine, still in 'out-of-the-box' layout, it is along the top row
between Line and Toggle Button (looks like two rectangles, one above the
other).
