If you always want the first letter, make your field one character long. Use a case statement in the refresh method to set the value of the optionButton when changing records.

>For example, in a gl account table, I want the user to be able to select between several types for the account, such as Asset, Liability, etc... But in my table, I just want to save "A" or "L" for example. Is there a way to set it so it is not the description on the screen that would be saved, but an alternative value?
