    Form & ActiveX Controls

    Hi,

    I am writing a small questionnaire in Excel for employees to do a self-assessment. For each question, there are four possible answers (only one answer may be selected for each question). Is there a way to add radio buttons or check boxes for each answer such that a person can only select one answer (not check multiple boxes for the same question)?

    Thank you!!
    John

    I suggest Marlett checkboxes. Search the forum for many examples.

    Here is a link that describes the use of the Marlett font to produce checkmarks

    Re: Form & ActiveX Controls

    Hi, Thank you for the help. I've added the VBA code for a Marlett Check Box, I cannot seem to get it only allow a single selection within the range of cells (only 1 answer). Also, how do I add multiple ranges (e.g., Range("E12:E15"), Range ("E20:E24"))

    Thanks!

    You will need to loop through each of the areas in your multi-area range in order to make them behave like option buttons (i.e., only one active in a given area).

    Post the code you're using.

    I'd love to see how you looped through the ranges, if you are willing to share.

    Sure thing. Here is the code that I ended up using. "Chkboxes" is a named range of the list of cells where the check boxes reside.

    You can use this and skip the Worksheet_Change event.
