John That is true but when you are hopping from field to field the pop ups are a pain when you do not want them and using a double click then picking one is extra work compared to the Radio Group
The reason this is real important is the program that is trying to replace mine is bragging about a one click solution or 2 clicks can do everything you want. My program is much more advanced and many users will not mind a few more clicks but less is better.

It could be a temporary table or a permanent table. The data in the table could be A, B, C etc, whatever your selection criteria is. In your scrolling region have a DBEdit with a popup menu that uses your table with the selection criteria. It will load the selection into the proper column in your record. I will create a sample app for you if you like.

So in the programming I merely read all 3 columns and decide which one has a Y.

You would also have to create 3 more columns in your table called A B C. Will that work for you? Bernie Lis ----- Original Message ----- From: MDRD To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 12:15 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Scrolling Region and DB Check box HI I am stuck on something that should be very simple. I have a Scrolling Region and would love to use a Radio Group but that is not possible. I have a text field with 1 character that I want to store A B or C Instead of having a DB Edit and typing in A B C, I would like to have the same type of look and feel of the Radio Group. I have played with Buttons and DB Check boxes but can't seem to get it figured out. Also I would like the object to be highlighted in when using the form so you can tell what the value of the field is. An I way off target or is this possible? Thanks Marc
