    option group in form

    Hello,
    I was wondering if any of you guys can help me with my form.


    you can find my database attached.
    When I want to create option group for "module" in I keep receiving an unidentified error.
    I want it to be the way as described following:
    User to add a new record, needs to pick "module", "problem" and "service" - they all are single-chosen - so I want to use option group.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The Module field of the Module table (bad idea having a field named the same as the table) is a text field. Are you trying to put a text value other than a number in that field with an OptionGroup. I've not seen anyone do that before and I'm not sure it can be done. Rather, they bind the OptionGroup control to a NUMERIC (Integer) field and simply change the number depending on the Option selection. You can have a decode table that converts the number to a string to keep from hard coding the reference. You can then join this table whenever you want to display the string.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
