Gouping for Option Buttons

[Mike]

I am trying to name unique groups for my Option Buttons so each question I
use the buttons for is independent from other buttons, however when I right
click on the option button, grouping is grayed out. how can I ungray
"grouping" so I can name them. by the way, the ption button I am currently
using is not the ActiveX option. any assistance would be appreciated

If you use optionbuttons from the Forms toolbar, put a groupbox (also on that
same toolbar) around the optionbuttons.

If you use optionbuttons from the control toolbox toolbar, rightclick on each
of the members of the group, choose properties, and give that group a unique
groupname.

Use the options buttons from the forms toolbar, then use a a groupbox from
the
forms toolbar around each set of options buttons, then right click the
border
of the groupbox and select edit text

Hi Dave

Thank you for your response. I am able to put a pair of option buttons
inside a group box, however my problem is that when I right click on the
radio button and try to click "grouping", it is greyed out and does not allow
me get in and rename so the two options buttons contained within the group
box stay separate. any ideas what the problem is?

That kind of grouping is essentially make one shape out of multiple shapes.
Then you can move/size that one shape. This isn't the kind of grouping that you
need.

Hi Peo

Thanks for your replay. Unfortunately, the issue is not the inability for me
to name a group box, the issue is that I have several sets of radio button on
the worksheets with uniquely named group boxes, when I click on a radio
button then click another outside of the groupbox, it unclicks. In other
words, all of my buttons are working in one group no matter what group box
they are in, how do I make each group box work independently?

 

[Dave Peterson]

Make sure each of the optionbuttons (from the Forms toolbar) is completely
inside their respective groupboxes.

 

[Mike]

I have done this, still no luck. Something is causing all the buttons on the
worksheet to be inter-related?

 

[Dave Peterson]

Doublecheck to see if you are really using optionbuttons from the Forms
toolbar--any chance you used optionbuttons from the Control toolbox toolbar.

Then doublecheck if you have the optionbuttons completely within the
corresponding groupbox.

Try it on a test worksheet to see if you can get it working.

Thanks Dave, I went ahead and started over and it worked.
