I'm looking to create a user-friendly interface (GUI - if 3 buttons qualify for GUI :rolleyes:), nothing fancy, just a simple box with 3 options to select:

  • USD or EUR
  • both or latest
  • new report or update existing
with some text below explaining each option.

I'm planning to have this box embedded into the only worksheet the user will see (the rest will be very hidden).

So... how do i do this? :)
I have seen Form and ActiveX controls, but how will my macro read what option is selected? Is there a variable attached to each button?
Also these Form/ActiveX control are put onto the worksheet, i was thinking of something like a Message Box style (if i can color the background etc even better).

If you could direct me to sites with samples, that would be very helpful too.
