MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / November 2007Select Option Button via rule
I have a form with "Yes", "No" and "N/A" choices made with option buttons. Based on an answer earlier on the form some of these need to be automatically set to "N/A". I do not want to eliminate or hide them as they still need to be shown. I've tried setting the "value" with a "rule" but that does not work. How can I do this? Could you please elaborate more? Rule should work to set the value. I hope all the options are not part of the same group. > I have a form with "Yes", "No" and "N/A" choices made with option buttons. > Based on an answer earlier on the form some of these need to be automatically [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I've tried setting the "value" with a "rule" but that does not work. How can > I do this? Sorry, yes the value is set but the button does not "appear" to be selected. What do you mean by "the same group"? The three choices are the same control, one button's value will be set to 1 when selected the other two buttons will be set to 2 and 3 when selected, respectfully. > Could you please elaborate more?

Double-check whether there aren't any other rules that might be canceling out the rule you want to use to set the value with; the logic might have gotten mixed up somewhere in your form. Also make sure that you did not put the option buttons in a repeating section. --- S.Y.M.

How can > I do this? OK, it is now working. I'm not sure why it wasn't before. I just opened the form today and the rules that I had left in place started to work. I've noticed that sometime when I first insert a rule it doesn't seem to "take". Usually though closing and reopening the form fixes that. I guess it just needed the weekend to rest!
