Put each of them in their own frame and bind each set of buttons to a
different Outlook property. See

I mean that I click two of the six buttons I made...to collums with three
optionbuttons in
in one row they say:
(o) Good
(o) Average
(o) Bad

in the other
(o) Ok
(o) Neutral
(o) No

then I choose one in each row...and send the mail..so the form looks like
this befor sending.
(x= selected button)

(o) Good
(x) Average
(o) Bad

in the other
(x) Ok
(o) Neutral
(o) No

when I recieve the mail..the selection is no longer there...

What fields did you bind the buttons to -- you need one for each set. Did
you bind the buttons on the read layout to the same properties?

I got so far now..that the button I activate is now recieved, so far so
good..
I bound text fields to the button, one for each...but the two collums I
have, acts as one.
I tried grouping them, but I guess it´s not that kind of grouping...
by the way.. I moved all data to p.2 instead..much easier to work with..but
the group part is still troubeling me

Each group needs to be in its own frame. You know what a frame control is,
right?
