That makes sense, thanks. It has been awhile since I created a database - forgot about doing it that way. Ok - one question though. The Other field they need to enter text. If they click Other, would it do to have a txt field activate so they can type in it? But would that be a separate field from the table that lists the choices? Virginia, If you create a frame and put the checkboxes or radio buttons in a frame I think this restricts input to only one choice, what you can then do is assign each choice a value (say 1-4) and store the value in a field. Then you have a table of your choices with two fields, one for the value and one for the text: Value Text 1 Drill 2 Injury 3 Fire 4 Other then when you do your query, link your main table with the value field, into your value field, and get it to display the description. Sorry if I haven't made myself clear but am just leaving work....if you need any further info, contact me here or offline. Paul Hartland
