In this example, you attach a procedure to the MouseUp event of each ToggleButton that sets a public variable and then calls another procedure. That procedure selects the ToggleButton you have clicked and deselects all others.

 Close and save any open workbooks, and then open a new workbook. Start the Visual Basic Editor (press ALT+F11), and then on the Insert menu, click Module.  In the module, type the following code: 'Variable to hold name of ToggleButton that was clicked. Public Clicked As String

Sub ExclusiveToggleButtons

Dim Toggle As Control

'Loop through all of the ToggleButtons on Frame1 For Each Toggle In UserForm1.Frame1.Controls

'If Name of ToggleButton matches name of ToggleButton 'that was clicked... If Toggle.Name = clicked Then '...select the button Toggle.Value = True Else '...deselect the button Toggle.Value = False End If       Next End Sub  On the Insert menu, click UserForm. Draw a Frame control on the UserForm. Draw three ToggleButton controls on the Frame control.</li> Double-click one of the ToggleButton controls to display the Code window for the UserForm.</li>  In the module, type the following code: Private Sub ToggleButton1_MouseUp(ByVal Button As Integer, _           ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single) Clicked = ToggleButton1.Name Application.OnTime Now, "ExclusiveToggleButtons" End Sub

Private Sub ToggleButton2_MouseUp(ByVal Button As Integer, _           ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single) Clicked = ToggleButton2.Name Application.OnTime Now, "ExclusiveToggleButtons" End Sub

Private Sub ToggleButton3_MouseUp(ByVal Button As Integer, _           ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single) Clicked = ToggleButton3.Name Application.OnTime Now, "ExclusiveToggleButtons" End Sub </li> Run the UserForm.</li></ol>

When you click one of the ToggleButton controls, the ExclusiveToggleButtons procedure sets the value of the other buttons to false. Only one of the ToggleButtons can be selected at a time.
