Default Group option buttons

If I have a series of option buttons on a form, how do I group them so that
selecting 1 deselects all the others in the group.

In other words only 1 can be active at a time.

Place them within a frame. Easiest way to do this is to use the control
wizard when creating them. In short, put the frame control on the form
first, and if wizard button is depressed the wizard will help you finish the
task. Otherwise, drag option buttons into the frame.

Use an Option Group (Frame) which includes the outline rectangle and all the
options inside the rectangle.

The OptionGroup Wizard will help you through the steps.
