Cannot change selection of radio button with Yes/No options - sometimes

I have an application with several forms. Most forms use radio boxes
for Yes/No choices. On a few of these, once one option is selected, the
user cannot change the selection without moving to another field and
then entering the change on the original checkbox. I should mention
that there is a background image underneath the entire form.

Sometimes I can select any choice and then select the other.

On other sets of Yes/No radio buttons, I cannot change after the initial
selection without clicking on another text field in the form and then
going back.

Suggestions?

Is it possible that the groupbox has its Locked property set to True,
or the form has its AllowEdits property set to False at that time?

You need to find a reproducible scenario.

NO the groupbox is not locked and allow edits is true. I do not monkey
with them via VBA code.

It works the first time I try on the specific option group. If I
immediately want to change my mind I can't. but if I go to another
field in the system and then return I can change the selection, again
one time only.

In the same form I have other option groups that allow me to change my
selection all day long.

Yes it is reproducable.

the only thing I have noticed is that I tried to squeeze the size of the
option group box outline to make it fit in my form better. Those seem
to be the ones with the problem. Option groups I did not monkey with
after they were created seem to work fine.

I have a form with three radio options. And I have three buttons: <input type="submit" name="mainform_action" value="Edit Data"> <input type="submit" name="mainform_action" value="View Data"> <input type="submit" name="mainform_action" value="Delete Data"> If the first radio button is selected, I only want all three buttons to be visible to the user.

I have 3 radio buttons for include, exclued or 'select all' from the listbox items. If a user selects the 'Select All' button' then all items in listbox is hi-lited as selected. Now, when user selects one item out of the 'all selected' listing then there is now only one item selected. How and where can I put in some code to change the selected radio button to the 'include' since it is no longer in select all mode. Thanks, Alpha

Sorry if this is real beginner's stuff, but I'm an old-school HTML guy and this is all another world to me. Is there an easy way to get the user to specify a number from 1 to 5 (in a pick list or radio button or similar) and get a javascript routine to multiply it by another hard-coded number (e.g. 7) and display the result further down the page? Thanks, Steve Litchfield

Hi all, I have a form with an input radio control in a template field. When the user selects an option, and press a button the selection disappears.. I would like the selection to persist after the button makes the postback, I tried using the findcontrol but it returns null, and do not know how to make sure that the radio selected persist after the button action makes the postback.

I am trying to ask the user for confirmation before a radio button is selected. Currently I'm handling the radio button's onclick event, asking the user to confirm their action and if they hit the 'cancel' button call the preventDefault() method for the event to cancel it.

Hello, I have been reading thru various questions in the Bytes forum and none really answers this completely so here I am. I have a radio button field that displays several options and you can only select one. My goal is to make a certain selection trigger a change in a text box. for example, if I select reject in the radio field then the text box background would go red. Will that require VBA? and is there an easy way to do this?...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
