I may have figured out a partial solution to this. I inserted 3 image(active x) boxes on to the worksheet, all sized the same and located in the same place. each box has a picture I want to display when the corresponding radio button is selected. my problem now is I am not sure how to make the picture visible when the correct button is selected. should I be trying to hide the 2 not used pictures? is there a way to "bring to front" the picture I want? if this is not the best path to go down what is a better way?
