Default How do I set up multiple sets of option buttons?

I have modified a template used in my company.

It contains multiple tables. In those tables are several "yes/no" questions.

For these questions, I have used radio or option buttons.

The problem I am having is that only ONE of the buttons can be pressed, no
matter what set, what table, what page.

Ideally, I would like to have each set of "yes/no" questions as separate
entities, where a user can answer all of the questions instead of just one.

Thank you.

Pick a name for each question -- for example, Q1, Q2 and so forth. In the
Properties dialog for each option button, insert the name of its question in
the GroupName property. This works whether you have two buttons per question
or ten -- all buttons that have the same GroupName value will behave as a
unit, independent of all buttons that have any different GroupName value.

For yes/no questions, though, is there any reason not to use one checkbox
instead of two option buttons?
