error with blank option group choice

[dlazenby]

I posted a Forms question regarding this too, but my question here has to do
with the report component.
The Form question was (to give you some background):
I have a form with some option groups. The default choice is set to no
choice, so it does start out blank.
My question, once you "invoke" that option group you always have to have one
of them selected. Is it possible to reset it to blank/no choices and how?
Now, regarding the report question, let's say my form has a blank option
group. On the report I created, I get #Error.
My text box control source is set
as:=Choose([BreastOp],"breastbx","lumpectomy","mastectomy").
There will be instances when I don't want to "invoke" that option group and
subsequently, there should be no corresponding values on the report.
Please advise.

"Is it possible to reset it to blank/no choices and how?"

put a command button on the form

[Event Procedure] -->

me.optionGroup_controlname = null,

text box control source on report:

=IIF(IsNull(BreastOp),"",
Choose([BreastOp],"breastbx","lumpectomy","mastectomy"))

or
=Choose(nz([BreastOp],4),"breastbx","lumpectomy","mastectomy","")

Crystal,
Thanks for the reply. I went with the nz function and that worked just
great. Really appreciate your help.

you're welcome

btw, I did not mean to put a comma after the null assignment ... should be:

me.optionGroup_controlname = null
