Is your Option Group actually named ReportOptions? I ask this because the Option Group Wizard is kind of tricky in that it asks you to enter a Caption for it, but this is exactly what it is, a Caption for display! Unless you go into Properties and change it, the actual name of the control will remain whatever Access assigns to it, something like FrameN, where N is a number. If ReportOptions is actually only the Caption, Me.ReportOptions = 1 will bomb!
