RE: MI-L Mapbasic - alter control on radio button

Hello Laurence, I don't think you can have nothing selected with a radio group control - therefore, the value 0 is invalid. If the second radio group is not applicable, based on the first groups selection, consider disabling the control instead. Regards, Warren Vick Europa Technologies Ltd.
