To quickly find the index of the only selected OptionButton control apply this little math trick. The following example assumes there are 3 option buttons in a control array. if form1.visible = true thenThe reason:Due to the way the intrinsic variable instance works in VB, the line above will actually cause form1 to load. Forms are loaded automatically whenever referenced in code, whether loaded visibly or not. intSelected = Option(0).Value * 0 - Option(1).Value * 1 - Option(2).Value * 2Special thanks to a gentleman named Steve Gerrard who posted a correct sample script on another forum. His example works by going through a list of loaded forms and matching by the form name you are looking for.Note that the first operand is always zero, and you can simplify the above expression as follows: Public Function FormIsLoaded(FormName As String) As Boolean intSelected = -Option(1).Value - Option(2).Value * 2 Dim oFrm As Form For Each oFrm In Forms If oFrm.Name = FormName Then FormIsLoaded = True Exit For End If Next oFrm End Functionlovely!Credit to [http://msdnx.com/visual-basic-archive/23/43-36-236214.shtm Ed Lampman for this VB trick]. == Command Line Parameter ==This example was taking from the Sales Logix Assistant Program: Private Function CheckLauncherParamter() ' blnDebug If InStr(LCase(Command), "/verified") > 0 Then CheckLauncherParamter = True blnDebug = False mnuFileExit.Enabled = False ElseIf InStr(LCase(Command), "/debug") > 0 Then CheckLauncherParamter = True blnDebug = True mnuFileExit.Enabled = True Else CheckLauncherParamter = False End If End Function
