This question is in reference to Superbase4 Windows. I have a database which has a field of TYPE. The field may have multiple selections. TYPE = Commissioner, Past President, Executive Director, etc. User Form Designer, how to I allow the entry of these values using either a radio button or check boxes. I have tried both. With check boxes, only 1 value is allow to be selected although the field is defined to have 10 entries. -- Neil Greene --- University of Kentucky Mathmatics and Sciences Kentucky NeXT User Group neil@graphlab.cc.uky.edu [NeXT Attachments]

First, make sure define the "TYPE" field to be a text field (in the file definition) of whatever length you need (20 characters or so). Then, enter the form designer and open the form you want to put these radio buttons in. Next select the "radio button" icon in the toolbox and click on the form where you want to put it. A dialog box will come up asking which field to use. Select the field "TYPE". The next question will ask what value the button is to have. You type in "Commisioner" or "Past President" ,etc. Whatever you type in for this value, that's what ends up in the field "TYPE" when you click on this radio button. Therefore, you will need a button for each of the ten or so possible values you intend to allow for this field. Hope this helps. I just wish I could figure out how to set up some "dynamic" fields to help me keep track of things like an employee's sick days. Any ideas? G.
