Unselect OptionButton. How to?
 

Folks,

I have a macro with a data input screen.

Amongst others there are 5 optionbuttons. The macor must not continue
without one checked.

I do that by each subroutine of each option button writes the value 1
in a cell.

If there is no value 1 in that cell the macro will clear all selections
restart.

The problem is that now it cleared the 1 and it thinks no button is
selected, but really the button is STILL selected.

Is there a way to uncheck these buttons from inside the macro? OR at
least reset them all to default, like when the macro starts the first
time?

Thanks!
Matt

Hello Matt,

Since you don't say if the buttons are on a worksheet or a user form,
am giving methods for either type of button.

FORMS TOOLBAR OPTION BUTTO

Sub ClearOptionButton()

Shapes("Option Button 1").ControlFormat.Value = False

End Sub

To set the button, change False to True.


CONTROL TOOLBOX (VBA

Sub ClearOptionButton()

OptionButton1.Value = False

End Sub

The Option Button Control name is in Red. Change this to match the nam
of the control to be reset.

Sincerely,
Leith Ros

Works like a charm :)

Even better I am now (trying) to use Rowsource to select the range for
the drop down menu based on the amount of cells I have (varies all the
time).

Now the problem is that if I select rowsource before I open the form it
gives an error and otherwiese the dropdown menu wont adjust its size
until after the user clicks somehting..

How can I use the rowsource for a combox command before the form is
visible?

Hello Matt,

Generally when you link a editing object (Textbox, ComboBox) to a cell
it is pass the information from the control to the worksheet cell. You
are doing the reverse. You can more than likely use another method to
load the ComboBox based on the cells. Can you post or emial your
workbook so I can see what you are doing? I will faster than doing
multiple posts trying to explain.

Thanks,
Leith Ross
