    Red face Option Group broken out

    I created an Option Group with the following data:
    Yes (with value 1)
    No, Checked out (with value 2)
    No, Missing (with value 3)

    I chose to store the values in a field in the table so I can put them on the reports. When I run the report, it just inserts the value (1,2, or 3) and not the text part. Is there any way for it to just put the text only?

    Please be gentle...I'm just learning.

    Thanks,

    You could use the "Choose" function to convert the number into the desired text string.

    Question Additional info needed

    Exactly where do I put this function. I reviewed the Choose function and I think I understand it, but I am at a loss as to where to put it. Do I put it in the report field, database field, etc.

    Put it as the ControlSource of the control on your report that is displaying this field:
    =Choose(...
