I've got a model with a code that should depend on the selection of one of two option buttons. When a user opens the model, the both option buttons are unselected. I need to make sure that the user selects one of them before the main code is run. So if nothing is selected, then it should display a message box saying something like "Please select an option" and stop the rest of the code from executing.

I guess it should be an IF statement using OptionButton.Value = False as a condition, but I cannot figure out how to do it. It should be something like

VBA Code:
Sub optionbuttonselect()
If ActiveSheet.OptionButtons("Option Button 2").Value = False Then
If ActiveSheet.OptionButtons("Option Button 4").Value = False Then
MsgBox "Check the options"
    End If
    End If
End Sub

But it obviously does not work.
 
Thanks a lot. I just cannot figure out where to put End If if it's needed.

No "EndIfs needed in my codes as the are one liners & code should, assuming that you have following my direction & not made any changes, do what you want.

If getting compile error suggest you publish your main code

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).

Sorry, of course. It was a different IF structure. My mistake. Thanks a lot for your help, it works perfectly!
