Title: MS Access unselect option in an Option group.
Post by: Biglad on June 21, 2005, 12:43

All,

Does anyone know of a clever way to reset an option group to null.

Users are selection an option group by accident and i want them to be able to reset the option group to null. i.e. nothing is selected.

Only way i can at present think of is to place a button at the side to reset the option group to null.

I appreciate any help on this.

This is just a total guess, but having done some Googling, I think I now know what you want to do.  If a user clicks a button by accident, you want them to be able to 'unclick' it, yes?  Is there a (right click) 'Properties' for this button, and if so, what is the value to make it 'selected'?  If that is '1', could you not make the value '0' to 'unselect' it?

As I said, this is a total stab in the dark, but seems a reasonably logical suggestion.

If we can't come up with a solution for you, you could have a look at http://www.utteraccess.com/ if you can manage to get the search facility to come up with anything remotely relevent.

ill have a look in the morning but it has been a long time since i used access...i would suggest that the MSDN site for access might be useful: MSDN Access (http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/access/default.aspx)
