Default Beginning forms

I am having trouble with some basic ideas of userforms.
I want to start a main procedure, fire off a form to collect
some data, then return to the main procedure with the
data gathered in the form. I would like to use VBA
variables to contain the data rather than spreadsheet cells.

----- In the main section of VBA -----
Option Explicit
Dim Result$
Sub Main()
frmOptionResult.Show
MsgBox Result$
End Sub
----- In the UserForm code -----
Private Sub UserForm.Terminate()
Result$ = IIF(OptionButton1.Value, "One", "Not One")
End Sub

Above is what I tried to do thinking that I could collect
Result$ in a global variable that could be referenced by
'MsgBox Result$' in Main(). Unfortunatelly, when the
form unloads, the Result$ collected goes out of scope.
I was closing the form by pressing "X", and that is what
fires off 'UserForm Terminate()'. Is there a more common
way to do this that preserves the data on the form?
Perhaps it needs to be hidden rather than terminated and
then unloaded later?
