There you go! <g

Yes, equality of strings is case sensitive unless you change with declare

Option Compare Text

at the top of the module

better probably is you can make it case insensitive with

if lcase(rng(1,3)) = "member" then

Turns out it case case sensative. The rng(1, 3) contained the word Member
not member

the obvious answer is that rng(1,3) = "member"
even though you might think it does. (extra space?, activecell not what
you
think it is? )

Why does the code below not set OptionButton1.Value to True?

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim rng
Set rng = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 1)

TextBox1.Text = rng(1, 1).Text
TextBox2.Text = rng(1, 2).Text
TextBox3.Text = rng(1, 4).Text

If rng(1, 3) = "member" Then
OptionButton1.Value = True
End If
