How to ADD an option
To add an option button to an option group:
1. Open your form in design view. 2. The option group looks like a square with option buttons in. Drag the bottom of the square downwards, so you have room for another button. 3. Click the option button in the Toolbox. Click inside the option group. 4. Change the new label's Caption so it shows what you want. If you are using Access 2007, the option button is in the Controls chunck of the Design tab of the ribbon. In older versions, use the View menu if you can't see the Toolbox. After you click the Option Button in the toolbox, you will see the option group go black as you pass the mouse over it. That indicates that the new button will be part of the group (not just a standalone button on the form.) The new button should get the next available number. If you want to see what number is assigned, click the option button, and look at the Option Value property in the Properties sheet. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

How to ADD an option
I'm using 2007. When I click the option button and move the mouse, the option
group doesn't turn black. I get the option wizard which adds a new option frame. What am I doing wrong? thanks. "Allen Browne" wrote: To add an option button to an option group: 1.
