Move a control to an option group

If you create a check box, option button, or toggle button outside an option group, and you want to add that control to an option group, you must cut and paste the control into the option group. If you drag an existing control into a group frame, the control doesn't become part of the option group.

  1. Open a form, report, or data access page in Design view.
  2. Select the control you want to move to the option group.
  3. Click Cut Button image on the toolbar.
  4. Select the frame of the option group, and then click Paste Button image on the toolbar.
  5. Select the control, and click Properties Button image on the toolbar.
  6. Do one of the following:

    If the control is on a form or report, change the OptionValue property from -1 to the value that you want the option group to have when you click the control.

    If the control is on a data access page, change the Value property from on to the value that you want the option group to have when you click the control.
