I believe I have figured it out ... after much searching.

ActiveSheet.Shapes(PictName).ParentGroup.Name

gives me the name of the group the shape belongs to.

Thanks

Sorry, not sure how to do that. Is this a real group that
Excel recognizes,
or just what you consider to be a group? What were the
mechanics of the
grouping process?

I'm sorry - I am refering to a picture or a label that
is
inserted on a worksheet not a user form. The picture and
label form a grouped image and I want to determine the
group name if one of the grouped items is selected.

If the controls are grouped using Frame controls, you
can
use the Parent
property of the control to return the Frame that the
control belongs to. Or,
depending on how you have formed the groups, you can
use
the GroupName
property of the control.

If I select an item (picture or textbox) of a group
how
do
I determine what the group or group name the item is
a
member of?
