Option Buttons to Checkboxes?

Hello Folks,

When initially designing one of my dbs, I had added a few option buttons in
an option group, let's say two.  Now, 3 years later, they've decided they
want to make them into checkboxes (as well as add others).  OK, now is it
possible to change these option buttons to checkboxes?  OR any method of
preserving the data to work with two new checkboxes?

Any help or feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You can change the look to appear like checkboxes and add more options.
  -- OR --
Create the checkboxes and use an update query to pass the data from option
group to the checkboxes.

Yeah,
I guess there is no super efficient way of changing it..
So, I will go with option B there.
Thanks again!

The problem with option B is that you can select multiple checkboxes which
can be conflicts unless you build some code to check.

Like "Alive"  and "Deceased" both checked.
