Option buttons and group box

[Markathepub]

If I draw a group box and add some option buttons everything is fine
However I have lots of option buttons already set up and now need t
group them in several different group boxes.

I can't seem to make this work, they just don't group at all. Any idea
anyone?

thank

If you used optionbuttons from the Forms toolbar, put a nice groupbox (also from
the forms toolbar) around each group.

If you use optionbuttons from the control toolbox toolbar, go into design mode
(icon on that same toolbar) and rightclick and provide a unique groupname
property for each optionbutton group.

(each optionbutton within the same group should have the same groupname--but
different than the other groups (did that last sentence help????))

The default groupname is the sheet name, so they're all grouped together.

===
If you used option buttons from the Forms toolbar, make sure they are completely
within each groupbox.

Dave - many thanks, I was trying to use the groupbox from the form
tool bar and was unable to completely enclose the buttons due to th
design. You were right, it's defaulted to the sheet name and no
knowing this I can rename each group with a name which means somethin
to me.

Terrific, thanks Mar

I think you wrote Forms toolbar when you meant Control toolbox toolbar--but glad
you resolve it--or at least have a plan.

The group box is on the forms toolbar - on my PC at least! Anyway n
problem. I'm now renaming several hundred buttons group names - proges
I guess

Mine, too.

But the groupbox on the Forms toolbar is used with the optionbuttons from the
Froms toolbar. It doesn't have any affect on the optionbuttons from the Control
Toolbox toolbar.

(Could you have been trying to mix those Form's Apples with the control
toolbox's Oranges?)

Dave,

I've checked and your right - apples and oranges mixed.

Thanks
