[AccessD] Continuous Form Issue

The problem is that there is really only one set of controls on the
form, no matter how many rows you see.  You can fake the combobox stuff
with a textbox bound to the same form behind the combobox and the
combox's backstyle set to transparent.  That lets you see the actual
value in the field even when that value isn't in the combobox's list.
Option Groups aren't really appropriate controls for a continuous form.

Thanks... I tried it and it didn't work.
I have also tried the following:
1.  after update event of the Option group to refresh the combo box 2.
on enter event of the Combo Box to refresh combo box 3.  put everything
into one table with a filter on a field referencing the Option Group -
using either 1 or 2 above 4.  used requery 5.  used repaint 6.  I've
tried locking each one if it has a value but that really doesn't work...
it locks the entire form

What occurs after the refresh/requery/repaint the combo box drop down
changes as required.... however, each combo box on each continuous form
changes to what was clicked in the Option Group regardless of the Option
Group on the form it resides.

For example:
Three "rows" (continuous forms [CF])
1 - HW
2 - SW
3 - HW

If a new record (CF) is added the Option Group is clicked the previous
CFs change to reflect the value.  In this case if SW option is chosen 1
and 3 above changes.

Does that make sense?

Do you mean the combo box recordsource should change based on the Option
Group for that record?

If so, then just change the recordsource on the On_Current event.  This
will
change it everytime someone changes records.
