more than two optionbuttons in a group

[Guest]

Hi All,

I thought that optionbuttons behave like radio buttons in other programming
environments, but I'm experiencing that optionbuttons (even if there are more
than 2 of them) within the same group set the linked cell to TRUE/FALSE .

How can I achieve that a 3 or more member optionbutton group set the linked
cell to 1,2,3,... respectively depending on which optionbutton was clicked?
Or what is the method to create a selection structure with more than 2
choices?

Thanks,
Stefi

Use option buttons from the Forms toolbar.

Thanks Bob, I don't understand the reason why MS developers chose this
unreasonable solution but I'll do that not being other possibility...

Stefi,
If you set all the options buttons in question to the same GroupName, giving
each their own LinkedCell, you can have as many as you need .
You would then some formula and/or helper cell to convert to the True value
to a numeric.

Thanks Nick, I should have never thought of that! A little bit complicated
but this is what I was looking for!
