Option Groups: Have to Get Each Button's Value Separately?

[Bruce Clemence]

Hi all - please see if I've got this right (probably not!):

In Access, if I create 3 Option Buttons in a frame called myFrame, at
runtime I can find out which was selected by using something like

myChoice = myFrame.Value

.... where, if the 3rd button was selected, myFrame.Value is 3, and so
on. I can get the value of the selected option button in one
statement.

But in Outlook, the frame doesn't seem to have a Value indicating
which of its Option Buttons was selected. I have to test for the
value of each button in turn.

Have I missed something? (quite likely!)

Thanks very much!

You will get different behavior depending on whether you have bound the
option buttons to an Outlook property. If you have, then you get the
selected value from the property. If not, then each option button will have
the value of True or False. See
