Hello all, i'm a new user in this group and was wandering if anyone could
assisst me with a problem:
I have a form with option groups within it outputig their results to a table
called tblTNAform, with contain a very, very large number of fields linked
to option groups.
My problem is that i wish to display these results as text, not numbers,
and i've run out of ideas. The results of the form may be stored as a number
in the tables but must display as text in the report.
P.S. My VBA is not so good, so any code must be shown in an idiot-freindly
way!

As you have found, an Option Group value is a number.
To display the OptionGroup's value as text in a report, simply use an
unbound text control.
With just 3 options:
=IIf([OptionGroupField] = 1, "TextA",IIf([OptionGroupField] = 2,
"TextB","TextC"))
If the group has many more options you could use Switch() or Choose()
in an Access Control Source, or Select Case in VBA code to convert the
number value to text.
Look up Switch(), Choose(), and Select Case in VBA Help.
