Thanks to a previous answer from here, I got all of my text boxes and all
that to work in my Outlook form (my form was always coming into my inbox
blank), but I cannot get my option button to work (I am using 'option button'
from my toolbox). There are 2 buttons and a person can only choose one or the
other. If all else fails I can use a drop down, but it's more convenient to
use the option button because there are only 2 choice.

When I test my form, that option always comes blank. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tanya

Did you bind both option buttons to the same Outlook field and set a different value for each one on the control's Value tab? See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formcontrols.htm
