Default Form - Get Selected (true) value of Option Button

Alright, if you are getting the "No OptionButton selected" message, that
means an error is taking place but the On Error Resume Next is blocking it.
Comment out the On Error line and see what line the program raises the error
at... perhaps that will tell us something. And, just to be sure... you did
copy/paste my code, not re-type it, correct?

Rick,

Yes I have checked the groupname,

Not sure what I am doing wrong - I even tried to create a new form and put
add the code but no luck.

Regards,

Okay, I used a UserForm for my test also and the code worked for me. Off
the top of my head, for my GroupName line which you modified to this...

If OB.GroupName = "switchgp" Then

Is that **exactly** (letter case and all) what you used for the
GroupName? I ask because the If test is case sensitive.

Where are your OptionButtons located... on a UserForm or directly on
the worksheet?

Rick,

I can't seem to get this working - I have changed the GroupName to
"switchgp" but keep getting:

"No OptionButton selected"

is there anything else needs changing?

Thanks again!

You could use something like this...

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim OB As msforms.OptionButton
Dim SelectedOB As msforms.OptionButton
On Error Resume Next
For Each OB In Controls
If TypeOf OB Is msforms.OptionButton Then
If OB.GroupName = "MyGroupName" Then
If OB.Value = True Then
Set SelectedOB = OB
Exit For
End If
End If
End If
Next
'
' Your code would go here instead of what follows. Use the
SelectedOB
' object to get the Name, Caption or whatever other property of the
' selected OptionButton you may want to use
'
If Err.Number 0 Then
MsgBox "No OptionButton selected"
Else
MsgBox SelectedOB.Name & " -- " & SelectedOB.Caption
End If
End Sub

Hi,

I have a form that contains several option buttons (all are in the
same groupname), I would like to make this easier to manage so is it
possible to that after the user has selected a option button and
clicked the OK button to search the form for which option button is
selected ? this way I could use a case statement.

Thanks in advance.
