Jim,

There may be a valid reason for wanting to rerun a previous month's data -
late corrections etc - so all the options are valid at any time. The macro
is only used once per month, but I would like the user to validate their
choice before the update takes place.

As a user I prefer to be presented with valid choices only, rather that be
allowed to pick an invalid choice and then be told it wasn't right. If it
was wrong why did you give me that choice? (I ask). So, in your situation,
I'd use the option buttons' Enabled property to turn off invalid choices
before the user even sees the userform.
