I am working on a form, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do
the following, which I think would be rather simple.

I have a form with an option group consisting of three check boxes. I want
the user to be able to select, 1,2 or all three fields, but the only way that
I get it to work is to only be able to select one.

Any ideas? I know this has to be something that I have just wore myself out
on and it's so simple I can't believe it.
 
An option group will only let you select one of the items. To do what you're
wanting, you'll need 3 separate fields, one for each checkbox, and place a
frame (rectangle control) around the checkboxes to "group" them together.
 
An option group, by definition, accepts no more than one choice.
Use 3 check boxes that are not part of a group.

You could provide a fourth option "All" (or whatever you want it to say).

Thanks for the reply(s) incase I didn't make too much sense let me just tell
you what the question is.

I am working on a survey to give out to a group of people to see what
participation would be, and plan on having graphs to show the results to my
boss. The question that I am using the check boxes on, is:

If a class is offered on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday what day(s) would you
be interested in coming? Check all that apply. So I don't think that the
fourth option of "all" would work Debra.

Thanks

P.S. in my lack on intellegence on access if I can do three seperate combo
boxes how do I submit them to a particular field on the table. What I have
is a field named attendance and I would like all three answers to be
submitted to the same field such as Tuesday=1, Wednesday=2, and Friday=3. Is
this possible, or do I need three seperate fields such as attendWed,
attendThur, attendFri?

You would need 3 separate fields. When you create a report for this to print
it out, you could concatenate the three fields into one textbox.
