    Option Group question

    Hello,
    I have a database that I have copied to use for another application. In the original database, I have a form with an Option group with 9 selections, none of them have a default value.

    In the copied database, I would like to make one of the values a default. How/where do I go to do this?

    Thank you,
    Vickster3659

    Some things you need to use the wizard for when managing option groups. So, there may be an instance where creating a new option group using the wizard is the answer. If all you need to do is change the default, you can do so via the option group's properties.

    Select the option group by clicking or swooping the outer edge of it. Go to the "Data" tab on the property sheet. Enter the desired value (maybe 1 or 2 or...) in the "Default Value" property field.
