Your best bet is to give specific names to your option buttons
rather than rely on index numbers.

Do something like

Dim V as Long
V = ActiveSheet.OptionButtons(1).Value
If V = 1 Then
' button is true
Else
' button is false
End If

Do I put the code within the sub function itself? E.g
the
groupname of the
2 optionbutton is "Group19"
Sub group19_click()
<Should the code be put here?
End sub

The "optionbuttons(1)" refers to the first (earliest
created)
option button on the sheet. Alternatively, you can
use
the
name
of the option button. E.g.,

Debug.Print
ActiveSheet.OptionButtons("TheButton").Value

I'm using forms toolbar. Does the
"optionsbutton(1)"
refer
to
the name of
the optionbutton or something else?
"Chip Pearson" wrote in message
...
If the button is from the Forms toolbar, use code
like

Debug.Print ActiveSheet.OptionButtons(1).Value

If the button is from the Controls toolbar, use
code
like

Debug.Print
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("OptionButton1").Object.Val ue
