Yes...and further to Linda's comments...you CAN use the options, which are
ActiveX controls and then you have to code them to work. OR...you can follow
the article I passed and use the checkboxes to work like mutually exclusive
radio buttons. Either way...it'll work. Just different ways to get the same
type of conclusion.

Hi Larry.  The radio button isn't on the Forms Toolbar cuz it's an ActiveX
control.  It's on the Control Toobox

View>Toolbars>Control Toolbox

Subject: [mso] Creating a form with a Radio Button

I want to create a form (not web type) that contains mutually exclusive
options in them .. sort of like choosing the correct answer from a multiple
choice question in a high school test.

All I was able to find in the forms toolbar is to insert a checkbox, but
they don't have a mutually exclusive property. There is a discussion about
the "option" type (i.e., radio-button) but it seems to be used only for
web-based forms. 

Is there a way to make a the checkboxes of a group mutually exclusive like a
radio button. I wouldn't be adverse to executing a macro to insure
mutual-exclusivity  If so, does someone have a code segment I could
plagerize for this purpose?
