    Options going grey

    Hi There,

    I have an options box with around 5 options in.


    When I click on one of the options they all go grey as if they are disabled.
    I can still click on any one of them and they still work but visually it does not look good.

    Would anyone know what is causing this?

    Thanks for the help.

    does each option have a different value?
    is there any code behind it to colorize them?
    are they inside a frame?

    Hi There,

    I have 2 option boxes referring to the same source and they do have values. They are different values for each option.
    They are for time ie. early, afternoon, night for weekdays and early, afternoon, night for weekends.

    Thanks for the help.

    Best Regards,

    Although we usually think of Forms, and even entire Databases, when we speak of corruption, Controls, such as Option Groups, can and do become corrupted, and seem particularly susceptible to this during app development. The test/cure for this is short and simple...delete and then re-create the Control.

    Also, I'm confused by this

    Options Groups have Integers for Values...not Text, as you've indicated. The text associated with the Options is simply the Captions for their Labels.
