	Piece of cake. First, make sure define the "TYPE" field to be a text 
field (in the file definition) of whatever length you need (20 characters or 
so). Then, enter the form designer and open the form you want to put these 
radio buttons in. Next select the "radio button" icon in the toolbox and 
click on the form where you want to put it. A dialog box will come up asking
which field to use. Select the field "TYPE". The next question will ask what 
value the button is to have. You type in "Commisioner" or "Past President"
,etc. Whatever you type in for this value, that's what ends up in the field
"TYPE" when you click on this radio button. Therefore, you will need a button 
for each of the ten or so possible values you intend to allow for this field.

	Hope this helps. I just wish I could figure out how to set up some 
"dynamic" fields to help me keep track of things like an employee's sick
days. Any ideas?
