I want to insert the radio buttons in my form (which is not bound to any
database) so i click on Option Box control, which inserted all the buttons i
needed. BUT, how do i allow people to select MORE than one choice? Right now,
if you click on one radio button and then on another, it moves the selection
to the last one clicked rather than allowing multiple choices.

Please help.

Option buttons work exactly as you describe. For a set of option buttons are bound to only a single data node... therefore only one of them can be selected at a time.

If you want the user to be able to select more than one choice, you probably want to be using check boxes.

If, however, you want multiple selections AND option buttons, then you need to insert a new set of option buttons bound to a different data node.

Thank you!! I thought check boxes were only for Yes and No questions, i
didn't realize you could put in multiple check boxes. I will try that.

THanks!
