Hi Ivan,

I am a little bit confused by the question and hoping to learn something from you. What do you mean by "group name"?

The way I think about this is: there are 2, very differnt types of checkboxes. The ones we can create using the Forms toolbar, and the ones we can create using the Controls Toolbox toolbar. The Forms toolbar also has an object called the "Group Box", which has a great feature that we can group option buttons without the need for VBA. When I think of "grouping" check boxes (or option buttons), I think of the "Group Box". But, I am not sure this is what you mean or not.

The checkboxes created using the Controls Toolbox are OLEobjects. The checkboxes created using the Forms toolbar are not; they are an older technology and are no longer documented (although they are still supported). Since the code you posted is giving you the names of the checkboxes, they must be OLEobjects.

I know of no way to "group" OLEobjects (but am eager to learn if you do). What I would do if I needed to treat OLEobjects as a group would be to give them Names that would allow me to distinguish one group from another. If that is not feasible, the next property you can use to distinguish one from another is the Caption. If that is not feasible, you can use the Top or Left property.

Hope this helps. If I am way off the mark with my answer, please let me know.
