Search for SET_ITEM_PROPERTY for use in the WHEN_RADIO_BUTTON_CHANGED trigger.

You'd use WHEN-RADIO-CHANGED trigger. It would contain SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in, which would set item's ENABLED property to TRUE or FALSE.

Describing how it doesn't work would be a good start. What does happen? Do you get an error message?
Why are you setting the displayed property?
Have you read up on the enabled property in form builder help?

Built-ins name is incorrectly written. It is not

SET_ITEM-PROPERTY
but
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY

Now, back to Cookiemonster's questions (and your answers).

Then you need to debug the code.
Put messages in before each set of set_item_property statements and see if the code reaches that point.
Also use messages to display the actual value of NAME_GROUP (and you should really prefix that with the datablock name).

If you can't see a value then there is none. name_group is set to null.
What values have you actually assigned to the radio buttons in the radio group?

Sounds like you are checking the value of the radio group and not the radio button. Buttons have values, not the group.

You know how we're going to tell what that error is?
By calling up form builder help and entering the error number into the search field.
I'm pretty sure you can do that yourself.
