Create an option group with a wizard on a form or report

For best results in a Microsoft Access database, create option groups only for fields whose data type is Number (and whose FieldSize property is set to Integer or Long Integer) or Yes/No. In a Microsoft Access project, create option groups only for columns whose data type is Int, SmallInt, TinyInt, and Bit. For fields or columns with other data types, use a list box, drop-down list box, or combo box.
