Joe,
Each Option Button within the Option Group has an Option Value property.
This willl be a number. The value of the Option Group itself is
determined by the value of the Option Value of the selected Option
Button. You can use this value in the criteria of queries. If the
field to which you are applying the criteria is numberical, you can
assign the applicable Option Values to the Option Buttons, and use the
Option Group's value directly in the query criteria, for ecample using
syntax such as...
[Forms]![NameOfFrom]![NameOfOptionGroup]
Otherwise, you will need to represent the value in the query that you
want to apply the criteria to, as a numerical value. This is typically
done either via a calculated field in the query, or via making a table
that links each possible field value with a numerical value, and
including this reference table in the query. If you need more explicit
help with doing this aspect, post back with details of the relevant
data, with an example of what you want to achieve via the query selection.
