Hi Richard
I have made a form 2 years ago and used a combo box to give me a dropdown chice. I am now going back over our class material and think that using an option group button instead of the combo box would be more streamline way to do things. The object group only lets me store numeric values in the table instead of the original text values. Am I missing something or can I set the values in the option grouping to have alpha valves instead of numeric? Thanks for your reply.  Regards Rick
