Behavior - Option Buttons

Excel XP, Win XP
I have an option button in each of 4 locations in one sheet. The buttons
are from the Control Toolbox. I want each button to act independently from
the other 3. I also want each button to change its value when clicked upon,
every time its clicked upon.
How do I do this?
Also, where can I go to find an explanation of all the options with all the
controls? Thanks for your time. Otto

If you had multiple optionbuttons (2 or more) at each of those four locations,
then you could change the GroupName property of each optionbutton in that group
to the same string.

But it sounds to me like you shouldn't be using optionbuttons for this. As a
user, I think I would expect to see checkboxes in those 4 locations--it's either
checked or not checked.

After I thought about for a while, I came to the same conclusion.
Thanks. Otto
