Help... I'm looking for someway to find if a radio button has been clicked, either by the user or the default setting of the routine. So, what I need would be like these two radio columns with the x representing marked and the o as unmarked: rb1a..o.................rb1b..o rb2a..o.................rb2b..o rb3a..x.................rb3b..o rb4a..o.................rb4b..o rb5a..o.................rb5b..x (setq ans1a (*is rb1a marked?*)) (setq ans3a (*is rb3a marked?*)) ans1a = no................ans3a = yes ans2b = no................ans5b = yes etc... I would like to thank all those that respond so quickly to all of the questions that are addressed here. Scrutch
