Option button oddity

2003-06-06 Thread Shari
I've encountered an oddity with an option button. The button has 7 lines of choices - always. This never varies. Though the text of the choices do change. On openCard, it takes the contents of a field, which is the current 7 choices, and puts it in the button. Most of the time, the button
