I'm confused.

If you're just changing a single optionbutton's value, why not just:
Activesheet.optionbuttons("Option button 1").value = xlon

But if you've grouped your option buttons (from the Forms toolbar) and want to
do something to a particular group, you can find that group like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim ob As OptionButton
For Each ob In ActiveSheet.OptionButtons
If ob.GroupBox.Name = "Group Box 498" Then
If ob.Name = "Option Button 1" Then
ob.Value = xlOn
Exit For 'stop checking ???
End If
End If
Next ob
End Sub

But the GroupBox and optionbutton each will have their own names.

I have a option button and label grouped and what of set the option
button to value xlon. I cannot seem to be able to set the value when
it's grouped.

I have been trying this which finds the option button but will not set
the value.

Dim ob As OptionButton

For Each ob In ActiveSheet.OptionButtons
If ob.Name = "Group 498" Then
ob.Value = xlOn
End If
Next

I get error 'Run-time error 1004': Unable to set the value property of
the optionbutton class.

Can somebody tell me where I'm going wrong.

Thank you.
