I agree with you and your approach. If it was such a hard and fast rule that option buttons should be only vertical, one should never change a button's background color, etc, etc. then why does MS give us the option to "break" them. For a long time we VFPers could not change a button's background color while the VB developers could. Suddenly (in VFP8?) we are given a button background color property. Why? I'm not complaining. I'm glad they did it.
