Option Group problem

[Guest]

I’m using Access 2000. I’m trying to add an option button to an option group
on an existing form. I can put the button in the highlighted area that
defines the group away from the edge but it still does become part of the
group. Is there something else that has to be done? I can turn the button
‘on’ but it has no effect on other buttons in the group and can not be turned
off. The other buttons function correctly in that only one can be ‘on’ at a
time. Also the center of the button contains a ‘grid’ no matter what I
change except for when the button is ‘on’. The other buttons do not contain
that grid in form view, only in design view.
I have added the coding (Case) for the new button in the code for the form.
Thanks for your help!!

Cut the new button from your form and then select the OptionGroup first and
paste the new button and it then becomes part of the Group.

Once I cut the button from the OptionGroup, I can not get it to paste back
into the OptionGroup. It will always paste outside the Group box. The
button is already part of the OptionGroup because it has an OptionValue
property. I must not know how to select the OptionGroup to get it to paste
into the group.

I just copied one of the existing buttons in the OptionGroup with ^C and then
select the OptionGroup next to its label at the top and paste with ^V.

I can now get it to paste into the OptionGroup but it still does not function
as part of the group in that it can be turned 'on' but not 'off' and does not
turn other options 'off' when it is turn 'on' and can not be turned 'off' and
still has the gray grid until it is turned 'on'. Is there some general
option that needs to be set to allow adds to the OptionGroup? Is there some
other property that would be causing the gray grid in the button?

Did you change the value it supplies? Is your OptionGroup bound to a field?
If so then what is the DataType of the field? My test works just as I would
expect and I don't have the grid effect you have.

Thanks for your help. I found that there was a frame over the OptionGroup
frame. After fixing that (delete) it worked like it was suppose to.
