Default Checkboxes with the same Group Name not Responding

Groupname doesn't make check boxes mutually exclusive. It just creates a
common group if any of the boxes are selected.

I could use option buttons, but I would prefer the look of the checkboxes.
The help section says the GroupName Property supports option buttons, but why
does the GroupName property show up in the Properties window of the VBE? Am
I wrong about the possiblity of the checkboxes acting like option buttons?

You can make a check box look like an option button by deselecting the other
boxes when one comes true


Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()
if checkbox2 = true then
checkbox1 = false
checkbox 3 = false
end if
End Sub

That's the way checkboxes work.

Maybe you meant to use OptionButtons -- they'll only allow one option to be
chosen in each group.

I have 4 Checkboxes in a UserForm. I have given all 4 Checkboxes the
GroupName = "Shipping" in the Properties Window in the VBA Editor. We I Show
the UserForm and click on one Checkbox the others do not turn off, why?

Thanks in Advance,
Ryan
