Timothy,
It was returning the evaluation of the logical expressions
zyear="2006" or
zyear="2007" depending on the value of your radiobutton.
>AH, that was it, thanks.
>>>I have IIF(thisform.OPTIONGROUP1.value=1,zyear="2006",zyear="2007")
>>>
>>>When the optiongroup.value equals 1, zyear is blank rather then '2006', I am troubled by this or do I have it backwards?
>>
>>
>>zyear = IIF(thisform.OPTIONGROUP1.value=1,"2006","2007")
