Yes, but you can't record the changes.

sheet1.Textbox1.BackColor = rgb(255,0,0)

as an example.

Can I control the properties of these option buttons that are "from the
control toolbox toolbar" using VBA code? When I recorded a macro and
changed
properties of an option button, it did not show up in the macro code.

You could format the font of the cell to be the same color as the
background.

You cold make the option button opaque and have it cover the cell

That works except it places the word "True" or "False" inside the cell
behind
the control. It's purely aesthetics, but is there a way to prevent
this?

If you have the optionbuttons linked to cells, then just do a
countif on
the
cells for True.

My option buttons are grouped by row (one per cell) so only one of
five
can
be selected in each row. Now I need to know how many have been
selected
in
each of the five columns and totals stored in a cell. Will one of
you
VBA
gurus please help me count how many option buttons are selected in
each
column? Also, if there is a better method other than the option
button to
accomplish this, I'm all ears. I have been having the users put a
number
1
in the column and then auto sum the 1's at the bottom, (quite
easy),
however,
users keep screwing up and having more than one "1" in a row so
I'm
need a
better method of control.
