Barbara:

Thank you for instruction.

I rechecked the 2 new optionbuttons. they linked to different fields
and have different names. They are Numberic field. Yes is 1, and NO is @
I found if the tblindx property set to 1 for whatever optiongroup
this group will show the correct value when the page popped up.
Is it because this group gets focus initially?
