I'm assuming you're using an MFC based dialog application. If this assumption is right, read on. For the first radio button of each group, set its Group property to True. Right click on this radio button and select Add Variable and create an integer variable. The above step is only possible with a radio button whose Group property is set to True. To get the user selection, simply call UpdateData() and the integer variable will contain the 0-based index of the selected radio button. «_Superman_»  _I love work.
