I need some clarification on what your after in your database. Are you saying you want all the values of the buttons submitted even if their not selected?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

@eric... I do not understand the question...
I set up a form in CC... all good.
But the form had radio buttons.
But the form out put to database didn't output to options, only to varchar

So I am not getting options of radio output in the database, i.e., sets or enum, so I can't deliver etc

Are the buttons in question showing at the time of submit? Any elements that are under a conditional must be showing to be submitted to the database.

Before you submit the form can you still see the radio buttons or checkboxes? Are they showing on the form at submit?

So there's no values in the database for those columns?

Yes, the information is being captured, but not as a set. For instance, if three of the checkboxes are used, all three of those answers are going into a varchar field (I changed to text afterward to allow more space). What I am having problems with is to use that database information later to let the customer review it. I'm going to experiment with a pull down list and see if I can get to where I want that way.

Have you thought about logging to a CSV file instead? You could then share with them a file.

Thanks for idea, but they collect the information, then make "office notes" of their own on the applications. But I think I just came up with a way to do this. Instead of checkbox or radio button groups, I'm going to try making it a "group" of one item. It will take a bit longer, but it may be the answer.
