Default Make current option group choice default

I have been wanting to make the current option group choice the default the
next time a user opens a form. I don't want them to choose all the options
every time they print a report (option groups on form that loads at report
open determines layout, font type, size).

I getting myself confused in the effort to get this accomplished, so any
pointers, ideas, suggestions, commandments, etc. would be appreciated.

To do this, you need to save the users choices for each option group at the
time the print button is clicked.
You can save each choice on a hidden form that is always open, such as a
switchboard form that never closes, or one created specially.
Put a text box on the hidden form - one textbox for each option group.

When the print button is pressed, your code can go
With Me.Forms!NameOfHiddenForm
.txtA = Me.OptionGroupA
.txtB = Me.OptionGroupB
.txtC = Me.OptionGroupC
End With


Next time the report form opens, your code can go

With Me.Forms!NameOfHiddenForm
Me.OptionGroupA = .txtA
Me.OptionGroupB = .txtB
Me.OptionGroupC = .txtC
End With

Another option instead of using a hidden form is to use a table to store the
values.
