Is it possible to have multiple ActiveX Option Buttons on a sheet and have 2 of the showing "True"?

I have tried separating them by both Group Boxes and ActiveX Frames, neither works.

I discovered that if I separate the Option Buttons into ActiveX controls and Form controls then one group does not communicate with the other so I can have one of each showing "True".

Not the ideal solution for me but a usable workaround.

I would advise against using activex controls unless they have a particular functionality you need, but to address your question specifically: optionbuttons have a groupname property that you can use to separate them into groups - eg have two with groupname Group1 and two with groupname Group2 and one group will not affect the other.
