In Windows, radio buttons are designed to be used in groups where one is always selected and the others are automatically deselected.
In situations where you just want to toggle an option ON/OFF a checkbox is the correct control to use.

I don't think that a single radio button is appropriate. If you have a yes/no use a checkbox (checked = y, unchecked = no). I use radio groups for 2 and up.

I can't figure out how the user can un-check the button if they checked it accidentally. 2) I made a radio button group and then copied it to another area to save time setting up the next group. When I grabbed it and moved it, I was able to move the individual buttons and their text. But once I save it with the new button values and texts, I could no longer move the individual buttons. Is there a way move them after I saved it? 3) The Help Index and Search never seem to have the answers to my questions. I need a user manual. Does Rbase have them on a CD that I could print out? Thanks, Patti
