Hey Steven,
If the form will be posted and do some sort of server-side error checking
(and re-shown with errors if any are found) then my method (back a few
posts) is the one to go with. This is because my method initializes the var
for the radio button which then passes it's new or unchanged value into the
error checking process (when form is posted). If errors are found the form
can be re-displayed with the users input and a list of errors. By using the
looping/iif/de method the radio buttons will always revert to the value in
the database as opposed to the value selected by the user after the initial
display of the form.....
my 2 cents ;-)
