I assume you trying to create 10 option buttons and give each a known name:

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim Sht As Worksheet
Dim i As Long
Dim OptButton As OLEObject

Const VERT_SPACE As Long = 20

Set Sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)

For i = 1 To 10
Set OptButton = Sht.OLEObjects.Add( _
Left:=10, _
Top:=i * VERT_SPACE, _
Width:=8, _
Height:=8, _
ClassType:="Forms.OptionButton.1")

With OptButton
.Name = "MyOptionButton" & i
End With
Next i

End Sub

Will really appreciate some help with this code for creating option
buttons.

Option Explicit
Dim Sht As Worksheet
Dim buttonType
Dim leftPos As Integer
Dim topPos As Integer
Dim i As Integer

Sub Radio_Button_Create()
Set Sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
leftPos = 10
topPos = 10
For i = 1 To 10
buttonType = "Forms.OptionButton." & Format(i, "0")
topPos = topPos + 20
Sht.Shapes.AddOLEObject _
Left:=leftPos, _
Top:=topPos, _
Width:=8, _
Height:=8, _
ClassType:=buttonType
Next i
End Sub

It creates the first option button perfectly well but then fails on the
Sht.Shapes.AddOLEObject etc with Run time error 1004. Cannot insert
object.
