In Excel 2003 I had a a dialog box with a Frame1 containing, among other
things, two radio buttons (control buttons). Later I added what I wanted
to be a different set of three radio buttons, but (not surprisingly)
setting any of the five to True caused the other 4 to be set to false.

So .... I deleted the three new buttons and created a new Frame2 on top of
a portion of Frame1. Then in Frame2, I created three new buttons.

When I am editing the dialog I can see all the controls but when I load it
(DialogName.show), the three radio buttons are not visible. It seems
Frame2 is on top of the 3 buttons.

I have tried making Frame2 invisible which did not help. I have tried
using "Bring to Front" and "Send to Back" which seem to make no difference
at all.

How can I have controls in a frame within another frame and have those
visible?

Many thanks for any help.

Try using the GroupName property to group them. The ones that go together
get the same GroupName. Make as many groupings as you need with this method,
even within the same frame.
