I'm trying to compile a survey which will be accessed over our lan
there will be 10 questions with five possible answers for each question.
I want to use an option group so the user just clicks the check box
required.
I've set this up using the wizard but when the five check boxes are
displayed on the form they are dimmed out(the text isn't,just the check
boxes)
When you select one of the options the box is checked and all the options go
bright and it works ok.
can any one tell me why the option boxes should be dimmed out.
many thanks
steve
 
I think you probably have Unbound, Three State, checkboxes.
Change the checkbox property so that it is not Three State.

Steve,

Set the default value of the option group to 0 and all check boxes will be
active but unchecked.
 
i set the default to 0 on the form and on the table but the option box is
still dimmed out
what am i doing wrong?
thanks

As PC D says, you need to set a default value for the option group. Not the
form, not the table, but the option group. Then they won't appear grayed
when the form opens.
 
Select a checkbox, then view
Properties, Data,

Triple State is a data property of a checkbox
(at the foot of the properties form, data page)

If an unbound check box does not have a 'grey'
state, it will default to unchecked.

The TripleState property is only available if the checkboxes are not part of
an option group.
