Hi Jim and Roi,

In these particular cases the options are fixed so it's not worth creating tables. Specifically, one case is marital status: Single, Married, Divorced, Widowed, Other. The other case is worker status: Working, Vacation, Sick Leave, Maternity Leave, No longer working.

In FPD one could force the radio button variable to take on as value the prompt by initializing it with an alpha value. I am sure something like that is still posible, but don't lnow how.

Thanks for the help.

Alex
