Alison Balter at MS Access Solutions developed the application that helps us to properly service all of our members. This program handles billing, payments, tracking of jobs worked, available list, and other important data about our members. The system automates many tasks that were previously performed manually, allowing our employees to more cost-effectively use their time.

Option Groups

Option groups allow the user to select from a mutually exclusive set of options. They can include check boxes, toggle buttons, or option buttons, but the most common implementation of an option group is option buttons.

The easiest way to add an option group to a form is to use the Option Group Wizard. Make sure the Control Wizards button on the Design tab of the ribbon is selected, click Option Group on the Design tab of the ribbon, and then click and drag to add the option group to the form. This launches the Option Group Wizard.

The first step of the Option Group Wizard, shown in Figure 5.41, allows you to type the text associated with each item in the option group. The second step gives you the option of selecting a default choice for the option group. This choice comes into effect when the user adds a new record to the table underlying the form. The third step of the wizard lets you select values associated with each option button (see Figure 5.42). The text displayed with the option button isn’t stored in the record; instead, the underlying numeric value is stored in the record. In Figure 5.42, the number 1 is stored in the field if Client is selected.

The fourth step of the Option Group Wizard asks whether you want to remember the option group value for later use or store the value in a field. In Figure 5.43, the option group value is stored in the ContactTypeID field. In the fifth step, you can select from a variety of styles for the option group buttons, including option buttons, check boxes, and toggle buttons. You can also select from etched, flat, raised, shadowed, or sunken effects for your buttons. The wizard lets you preview each option. The sixth and final step of the wizard allows you to add an appropriate caption to the option group. The completed group of option buttons is shown in Figure 5.44.

You need to understand that the Option Group Wizard sets properties of the frame, the option buttons within the frame, and the labels attached to the option buttons. The properties of the frame are shown in Figure 5.45. The control source of the frame and the default value of the option group are set by the Option Group Wizard. Each option button is assigned a value, and the caption of the attached labels associated with each button is set.

Control Morphing

When you build a form, you might not always choose the best type of control to display each field on the form, or you might make what you think is the best choice for the control, only to find out later that it wasn’t exactly what your user had in mind. In Access, you can easily morph, or convert, the type of control into another type. For example, you can morph a list box into a combo box, a text box into a combo box, or a combo box into a text box.
