I am creating a questionarrie database where some questions have choices like
"Strongly Agree", "Agree", "Disagree", and "Strongly Disagree" while some
questions have choices like "Yes" and "No".

I am able to use drop boxes to show different choices regarding to different
question types. However, I would like to use option group to substitue the
drop boxes. The problem of using option group is that it seems like the
NUMBER of choices in option group is fixed and the NAMES or LABELS of choices
in option group are fixed. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE QUESTIOINS ARE SHOWN ON A
CONTINUOS FORM. So, a label or textbox cannot be visiblized or enabled on an
individual basis.

Is there any way that I can make the label and number of choices in option
group to change according to questioin type? Thanks in advance.
 
I think if you use Option Group and Option Box or Check Box entries you would
have better results especially in reviewing results in a report. That way
they show on every form based on what the question is. Even yes and no can
be used in a option group to ensure only one of the options are selected
instead of using a single field to do the input. The results of the input
may be what you want to put in a separate field in the table and then run
your querry on that field verses the actual input check box fields.

I did use option group in the forms. However, the problem is that some
questions are COMMENT ONLY, so I do not want the option box to be VISIBLE at
all. However, because the form is a CONTINUOUS form, I cannot make a control
visible or not visible based on certain status (If I make it visible, it will
be visible for every response and vice versa).
