Hi!
In the tool box the control looks like a rectangle with an XYZ at the top. Drag one of these controls (alternatively called Option Group or Frame) and a wizard should start that will walk you through the set up.

Hi!
Certainly. Just add the option group to your form and then add the buttons to the option group. Now only one button will allowed to be selected. When a button is selected the value of the frame will be the option value of the button. Look on the data tab of the property sheet for the buttons in the option group control to see the option value property. Now you can change the option values of the buttons to match values you need, if the values are not important then leave them as they come up (the first button will be 1, the second 2, etc). You can right code to check the value of the option group and make changes as necessary. For instance, if you are using an option group to imput gender, you can check the value in the After Update event for the group and store either Male or Female depending on what was checked.

Make sure that your wizard button is clicked!
In design view, immediately to the left of the label button, "Aa", is a magic wand and stars/fairy dust(?) (It is Christmas!)
Make sure that is clicked down to activate wizards when you add controls.
