User form - I'm really confused now

[mortgageman]

Here is what I'm trying to do, and maybe it just can't be done.

I have put a game (wari) into a user form. There are 6 option buttons for the user (the user picks 1). Once the user picks a button, the values in 12 text boxes can change. Ok. AFter the user picks a button the computer will "move" which will entail the values changing in the 12 text boxes. The the user can pick again. I think I am asking: How does the userform know to pass control back to the option button?

Why not use Application.OnTime to create a time delay, and then use a MsgBox to inform the user they may move again (after you clear the textboxes)? HTH

But I do I "tell the userform" that the user has "moved" (picked one of his or her six option buttons) and the program a change of state in the userform (change the value of the text boxes), and then reshow the userform?

IOW I am trying to do something like this

function game()
DO
show userform
do stuff based on user's choice of option button
have computer respond and show response in userform
loop back to DO

If you're in the OptionButton_Change() (or Click()) event, then the user has selected a button. Then you can wait, update the userform for the computer's "moves" and have a MsgBox state that the computer has taken its turn.
