Option group on existing form

[Tom]

I have recovered my database from my earlier memory issue.

I am trying to add and option group to the form to add a check box for 4
options.

I have two other option groups already on the form.

When I try to save the form, it "crashes" wanting me to report the error to
Microsoft, repair and re open the database. I have tried combining the older
two option groups to one, and trying the new option group to a combo box.
Same thing happens.

Any thoughts??

Walk through the recovery sequence suggested here:

There's a fairly good chance you will need to continue on to the SaveAsText
solution as well.

I'm guessing that the form itself is corrupt.

Try creating a completely new Access database. Import everything *except* this
form; compact and repair. Then rebuild the form from scratch. You *might* be
able to get away with creating a new blank form, and copying and pasting the
controls (all but this option group of course!!!) from the damaged form.

Does the form have any associated VBA code? That might be the problem too.
