[AccessD] Option Group's Control Collection - Weird Behavior

J.C.,

    Thanks for the confirmation. As rightly stated by you, the flaw under discussion might well have gone un-noticed as the situation is not likely to be encountered under normal day to day use. Option groups once designed, should not need any positional manipulation at run time.

    I happened to run into this bug while trying to develop a sample db (still in progress) for re-sizing of forms to suit the screen resolution in force. Even insertion of time delay between consecutive loop steps was not found effective in overcoming the erratic behavior (skipping cum repetition of items in controls collection pertaining to option group). 

    Interestingly, the work-around using temporary collection (built on the fly), as proposed in my previous post, is found to work nicely, even for option group located on a tab control.

    As suggested by you, I shall be reporting this bug to Microsoft.

Best wishes,
A.D. Tejpal

   >     It would thus appear that built-in control collections in access do perform properly, with 
  the exception of that belonging to an option group. Apparently a bug in need of remedial action by 
  Microsoft.

  My point exactly.  Of course MS is way to busy doing important stuff (like designing pretty 
  toolbars) to fix bugs.

  ;)

  To be fair to MS, this is pretty esoteric stuff even by my standards.  They may never have had this 
  bug reported in a reproducible fashion.

  You should definitely report it, preferable with a little database that will demo the problem.
