Re: Make an array of toggle buttons

Create an option group.
Put toggle buttons in the group.
Then examine the Value of the group to see which one is depressed.
(It will match the OptionValue property of the button in the group.)

Another alternative might be to use a tab control, with the Style set to
Buttons.

Make an array of toggle buttons

How can I make an array of command buttons (or toggle buttons) on a form and
have a text box on the same form display the index of the button clicked? This
works very well in VB6, but I can't duplicate the action in Access.

Thanks for your help.

Option group worked perfectly. I don't know how many times I had tried to make
an option group before, but each time I had tried to make the toggle buttons be
an array ( Toggle1(0), Toggle1(1) etc.). I had defined the array in the form
module, but apparently not correctly, then set Text1 = Index and Text1=
OptionValue. No luck. I had been to your web site earlier today, but couldn't
find what I was looking for.
