WOW! thanks David! This must be a bug. Everytime i edit the radio button question i see update option text, update option value & move option...but not the "row numbers" box.
For some strange reason it works on the first radio button on the form, however, i noticed that the option doesn't show up when i edit that question either.
That fixed the issue...i just have to be careful if i ever edit this question as it always reverts back.
thanks again!
