How do I make option buttons work in a form?
Hi,
I created a form and defined a couple Option buttons, I'm testing the form by selecting "Run form", I select an option and send the form to myself, when I get it I open it and neither option is selected. I defined the option buttons in both, compose and read page, any ideas why it is not working? Thanks,

Did you do this my defining the option buttons in unsplit mode, and then splitting them to get the controls in both forms? If you used a simple cut and paste from one form to the other, it will never work. That creates two different controls, and auto-loading between compose and read forms only works if they are the "same" control. You achieve this sameness by splitting the form after designing the common elements, or publishing the unsplit form, and then dragging the controls for the second form from the category of the published form, which will appear in your list of categories once it is published. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

To make this work, you must bind both option buttons to a single field, and you must include code in your Open_event code to initialize the controls from field value. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

If the option buttons are bound to a field, Outlook takes care of initializing the values. No code is needed. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formcontrols.htm
