Multiple Option buttons

Hi, I am trying to create a simple survey with the end user being able to
select only one of the option buttons available per question. I have created
five option buttons per question but it seems I can only select one option
button in the documents entireity, i.e when I select an option button in
question 2, the option button in question one which i selected now is empty.

Can anyone help with this ?

I assume you're using the option buttons from the Control Toolbox.

Turn on Design Mode. Select each option button in turn and open its
Properties dialog. Type an entry in the GroupName property. Use one value
for all five buttons in the first question, for example, Q1; use a different
value for all five buttons in the second question, such as Q2; and so on for
each of the other questions. Then turn off Design Mode and test your form.

All buttons that have the same value for the GroupName property will act as
a group, and won't affect buttons that have a different GroupName value.
