Hi everyone

I'm trying to do a form in access and basically i want to have three toggle buttons (or radio buttons) on the form that are connected so if you select one the other two will not be selected and based on which toggle is select enter a string into the table.

How would i go about this? as i don't want to have to create a VB front end

I don't really know what access is capable of a i am mainly a web developer

cheers

just drop an Option Group control on the form. It's on the toolbox. Very easy to use. the group as a whole can be bound to a field on your recordsource for the form. Each option item within the group has a different value, and the Option Group returns the value of which item is selected. It works quite well.

"i am mainly a web developer"

Remember the days when C++ developers unerringly frowned on "VB programmers"? Now I understand how *they* felt.
