An option button on my userform has vanished

[bevc]

I was making a minor adjustment to the positioning of an option button on my userform, and it vanished. I can't see it if I open the form (with scrollbars on), or by tabbing through the elements. I checked the dropdown in the properties window, and it no longer lists the option button as existing.

So I assumed that I had accidentally deleted it, so I tried to re-create it, but when I do I get the ''ambiguous name, can't call it that" error, as if the option button with that name is still there. I really don't want to have to make a new one and go through all the code that refers to that button and change it, does anybody know how/if there is anything I can do? It has been irritating me for an hour now.

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have any container controls like frames or multipages on the form?

If near any other item its usually found to have become part of the other item....I enlarge the userform so I can move elements around to see if I can locate it...painful and annoying exercise

Thanks for the reply, yes, there is a frame on there, and it was near to the scene of the crime when my option button disappeared. I have moved the frame around all over the place, and it didn't show up.

Have you tried enlarging the frame

Select the frame in the designer and then see if the optionbutton appears in the dropdown list. If it does, it means you dragged it into the frame.

That was it, thank you! You saved me a big headache.
