option buttons appear grey when selected rather than a black dot 1

[martinrobson]

Hi,

I have an option button frame with 2 buttons in it. When i select either one, they grey out instead of showing the black dot. Apart from that they work fine.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Martin

Looks like you have something that sets the value to Null or disables the frame...
Are you sure they work fine?

Maybe you have some code attached to it...can we see it?

Its as Danvlas says they, the option button does not know whether it is true or false. Set the default value of the option button to either true or false and you should be ok.

Savil:
"When i select either one"...this is what puzzles me. Selecting one or the other should eliminate the 'ambiguity', but it doesn't. That means the 'Null' is passed after the selection has been made...

Check the field itself. It should be a text field, not a yes or no field.

Makes sense... I tried it and the buttons grey out when moving from one record to another, not when I click one of them. However, saving the record makes them grey.
Have one from me...

Cheers guys.

The field is set as a text field and the default value is set to 0 so that when the buttons load they are white rather than grey. If i remove that then they both start grey and are also grey when selected.

I do have some code behind the buttons, mainly to change the value entered into the table from 1/2 to D/I, here it is:

Private Sub DIRECT_INDIRECT_FRAME_Click()

Dim D as integer
Dim I as integer

Select Case DIRECT_INDIRECT_FRAME
Case Is = 1
Me!DIRECT_INDIRECT_CODE.VALUE = "D"
Case Else
Me!DIRECT_INDIRECT_CODE.VALUE = "I"
End Select

End Sub

Any ideas?
