    what happened to radio buttons?

    sorry guys this is from a very inexperienced access 2007 user!


    I used an older version many moons ago and i think you used to be able to display a few options for a field as radio buttons on a form.

    I'm trying to design a very simple form for children to use and want them to be able to choose from a small number of options but would rather they clicked in a box/button than select from a combo box. Needs to be very speedy to use!

    How do i achieve this (in very simple language please i'm a complete newbie at this)

    The radio buttons or (option button) is still available. You can use either an option group or just an option button depending on what you are trying to achieve. Go to the design tab and locate the design object for your use
