Change option group border to rectangle ?

[mscertified]

I have an option group with 3 radio buttons. I now decide I want to convert
to independent checkboxes and have the border be a rectangle not an option
group. I right clicked but there is no 'convert to' option. when I select the
option group, and do delete, it deletes all my controls. I just need to
convert the option group border to a rectangle. How?

I don't think you can. Access treats an option group as a single control, not
a box with other controls inside it. You will probably just have to delete it
and add your own rectangle and check boxes.

You can stretch the option group in whatever direction you wish, just
like any other control. Select the group. Move the cursor around the
border of the frame to one of the tiny squares until the cursor
becomes a 2 way arrow. Left click and drag the border.

However, if you want the check boxes independent, then you need to
create new check boxes that are not part of the option group. Any
check box that is part of the Option Group is NOT independent of the
other check boxes.
