I'm trying to do the following:

ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array((myarray)).Select

when myarray is "OptionButton1", "OptionButton2"

I cannot for the life of me work out how to define myarray so that it
contains quotation marks. Can anyone help?
Sian

Three double quotes in a row:

Sub jfsldf()
MsgBox ("""hello""")
End Sub

Add quotes around the quotes:
"""OptionButton1""", """OptionButton2"""
or just add them when you output later if possible.

This isn't working for me: I've tried

myarray = """OptionButton1""", """Optionbutton2"""
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array(myarray)).Select

and I get a compile error

Even if I try
myarray = """OptionButton1"""
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array(myarray)).Select

I get "Name not found" and myarray in the debugger shows as
""OptionButton10""

I'm trying to do this to delete a variable range of ActiveX objects.
Perhaps there's an easier way to do this?

You sure it's the quotation marks?

Array(myArray)
looks kind of funny to me.

Sub testme()
'Dim myArray is undeclared on purpose!

ReDim myArray(1 To 2)
myArray(1) = "OptionButton1"
myArray(2) = "OptionButton2"
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(myArray).Select

End Sub

myArray has to be a real array--not just a text string.
