Radio Buttons

Here's what I have

RadioButton_Present
RadioButton_Absent
RadioButton_Tardy

I have RadioButton_Present and RadioButton_Absent grouped.

I want the RadioButton_Tardy to not be enabled if RadioButton_Absent is selected.

Thanks in advance.

Why not create an option group for the two

[neil123williams]

Thanks for the reply Toyman, I tried to do something like that, but I probably don't understand.

So, you are saying I can group RadioButton_Present and RadioButton_Absent together, then have another group where RadioButton_Absent and RadioButton_Tardy are together? Present and Tardy are dependent; Absent and Tardy are dependent.

The option group returns an integer. So lets say you have an option group consist of one radio for Present and one radio for Absent. The radio for present will return a value of one (1) and radio for present will return a value of two (2). Since there is only one option, Present or Absernt, you would create only one field in your table "Present_Absert". Set this field to a number field. 1=Present and 2=Absent. When you choose either the radio for present or the radio for present, the table will have the input of 1=present or 2=absent.

Yeah, I got that part. My challenge is that I don't want my user to be able to select Tardy if Absent is selected.

Neil,
Is there 1 choice to be selected?

Present Or Absent Or Tardy
or
is there more to this than meets the eye? Could you describe the options, what do they represent?

[neil123williams]

No there are two choices. First you select Present or Absent. If they were present, but tardy, tardy should be selected.

What I want is the Tardy choice to not be option if Absent is selected.

I guess I should re-think this. Make this a 3 option choice. If they were tardy obviously they were present. Hmmmmmmm. I think that'll do it....

How about

Present and OnTime
Present but Tardy
Absent

[neil123williams]

Yep, that does it!
