disabling and enabling controls

Hi
I am totally new to Base but I have used Ms Access before. I can't quite figure out where to start in adding code to controls. I need to use option buttons to disable and enable other buttons. Please point me in some direction where I can get some useful help/ information.
thanks

Ok here is what i want to do: I have a questionnaire that has some questions that should not be answered if others are answered No or Yes or E. So i have radio buttons for all the questions. What I need to do is have a user select one option say No and radio buttons(the groups) for the following questions get disabled if they are not supposed to answer them based on the answer they gave. The material provided helped me get a basic start. thanks

Hi ashmuw!
I assume that you work with forms, not dialogs. I can't help there exactly.
Anyway, download X-Ray tool, and examine your controls.
I'm pretty sure that there is some property like object.Enable, which can be True or False...
