Good morning David,

Thanks for the clarification. May I suggest that instead of using radio 
buttons, you use an associated list selection that is defined by the 
parent classification. So create internal tables so that your main 
selection table is a table of tables (or lists) with the key field being 
your parent selection and your subsidiary selections being either a list 
of selections or further tables.

In my experience, using radio buttons in this way tends to become very 
complicated and very fixed in form. On the surface it appears to be 
fairly simple in concept but when trying to actually develop a useful 
tool, it often becomes mired in complexity. I was originally introduced 
to the idea of "tables of tables" from a project going back to about 
1986 and have successfully used in many times in many different projects 
since then.

If you want to discuss further, feel free to contact me directly.

regards and blessings

Bruce Rennie
