Author group box FP2003 newbie

I am learing FP.

Why is my "group box" option greyed out?

I am trying to create a form where a group of options
exist but only one is allowed. I think the group box will
make this work. What I am seeking is what Access calls
an "Option Group".

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Cindy

Use the Radio Button form element

Are you referring to the "Option Button" item in the
Insert/Form menu?

I'm presently using that...actually two of them and the
group box remains unavailable. Still grey. I wish the
user to select only one of those two option buttons.

Thanks, please provide further clues.

Cindy

You must assign the same group name to each radio button.

Yep. Done that.

FYI,
1. I have a new page
2. Insert form (submit button)
3. Within form frame:
a. insert option button1, group "R1", value V1
b. insert option button2, group "R1", value V2.

The group box remains grey.

Got more?
Thanks, Cindy

There really is nothing else that you need to do, other than what you have indicated below. The two
radio button are now part of the R1 group, and when a user select a button the value will be
assigned to the form field name of R1.

I have not really looked at the Group Box to see what it's purpose or benefit is, but if you insert
it first, then you can insert other form element within its borders.

The "Group Box" places <fieldset><legend>...</legend>....</fieldset> tags
into a form. Field elements (option buttons, check boxes, text boxes,
etc.) placed inside the Fieldset are grouped together by a visible boundary
box, with a title between the Legend tags. See
www.rxs-enterprises.com/rxsents/formmail.html for an example.
This is not supported in NN4.
