Toggle buttons: need expert help

I am trying to apply the same technique used in the customer contact form in
the Northwind Database for my own. I have done something similar in another
DB using radar buttons and it works fine.

For this one I am using toggle buttons for the letters A-S and "All" (for
all records). I have used the "option group" wizard so I know they are toggle
buttons and each button has its own option value. As it is in "Northwind",
the option group is in the footer of the form.

For some reason, the buttons won't stay depressed.

Can someone possibly enlighten me?

Hi

Can you post the OnClick event code

Hello

there isn't an onclick event code. What are you referring to?

I sorted out my other problem. I redid the two forms so I don't what happened.

I have tried creating an option group in a blank form and the toggle buttons
works fine.

Now I don't know why my other form won't work.

I can't believe I have been such an idiot. On the data tab in the form
properties I had all the data options set to "no".

doh!

Hi

I suggest you simply delete that toggle group from the form where it is not
working and use the wizard to create another one.

The OnClick event is what you want to happen when you click (press) one of
the buttons in the group. You need to tell your DataBase what the group
does. It could set the value of another field, save the "option" to a table,
etc,etc. Basically what does the option group "do".

If you could let us have some idea of the "reason" you have the option group
it may be that someone could help you

Hi -
Check the AfterUpdate action of the group itself. This is where your action
occurs, not under each button
