Let's say I have 3 buttons called Y/N/NA with values if 1,2,3 respectively. I put them in a group so they are mutually exclusive. I want to bind the value coming out of the group to a field in the database. In VBA this value would be a property of the option group - what is it here? Also, when a value is returned from the database, the only button showing is the selected one, the rest disappear. Why?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

This is the way the inet system is.

Name the buttons with distinct names, and look for all threee in the Form collection. The only one present is the one that has been clicked.

A checkbox or radio button that is unchecked is not contained in the values that are returned to the server.

OK, thanks. I see now how to read the value from the radio button group on the client side. The part about no values coming back from the server for the other buttons makes sense, but doesn't deal with the question of how to make those buttons appear. I'm working on a survey type form, so it is essential that all choices always appear. I've looked through several books by Wrox, Apress, etc and can't find much dealing with exactly this problem.
