Option groups allow you to select AN OPTION. Use a checkbox if you wish for
the user to be able to check multiple items.

But what I want, is a group to contain one statement with many choices..
such as:

Window Condition:
Cloudy, Cracked, Loose Frame, Bad Sill

and I want all of these to be visible so the user does not have to scroll
through them.
I tried a listbox, and I expanded it so all the fields are visible, but it
takes up too much room
something like the looks of an 'OptionGroup' is what i am looking for.

You can have a [Window Condition] field and have those 4 options in an
Option Group bound to that field, but you will only be able to select
one option.
 
You want a multi-select list box or combo box. I am not sure exactly how to
do that, but have seen it addressed on here many times. You might try a
search.

As noted elsethread:

YOU WANT ANOTHER TABLE.

You can display the (four, in this case) records in a Subform.
