I am relatively new to VBA but am learning fast. One thing that I can't
find the answer to is what is the significance of the (.) in front of a
code.

eg; With ActiveSheet.OptionButtons("Option Button 57")
.Value = Not .Value = xlOn
End With

I cn understand having it between the Not.Value but why is it in the .Value
= etc.
