It's not a problem, it's a feature. ;-) I'm pretty sure that what's happening is that FormBuilder is adding an extra option because the field is allowed to be NULL. I.e. it's not NOT NULL. If you change your field in the DB to NOT NULL and regenerate your DO ini file you'll see that go away. You may be right in a way, though...a "nothing" radio button doesn't make as much sense as a "nothing" select box entry. However, not having the "nothing" radio button means that once you click yes or no you won't be able to go back to choosing nothing in most browsers. I suggest you just make your field NOT NULL. :-) -- Justin Patrin
