Grouping OptionButtons post-creation
 

Anyone have any suggestions for how to group option
buttons after I've created/coded them? For example, I
need to group six new option buttons so that when any one
of them is selected, neither of my two other
optionbuttons (in a different group) are deselected?

Hi Ed,

Are these OptionButtons on a worksheet? If so, you could do something like
this:

Sub GroupOpts()
Dim n As Integer

For n = 1 To 5
With Sheet1.OLEObjects("OptionButton" _
& CStr(n)).Object
If n <= 3 Then
.GroupName = "grp1"
Else
.GroupName = "grp2"
End If
End With
Next n
End Sub

Ed,

Are they ActiveX Toolbox control?

If, so, get the Control Toolbox toolbar up, and go to design mode (the blue
triangle icon to the left). Then select the optionbutton. Click the
properties icon, the hand pointing to a document next the design icon, and
there is a GroupName property that you can change.
