Option Buttons

• To have multiple option buttons on a form
  selected at the same time separate the option
  buttons into groups by using container controls
  (frame).

Frames

• A type of control called a container.
• Containers are controls in which you can draw
  other controls.
• After you draw a Frame control, you are ready to
  start placing other controls in it. You can place
  any controls you like in the frame (or any other
  container). You can even place containers within
  containers.
• The only way to move a control from other parts
  of the form into the frame is to cut and paste
