>>>I want to make a command button group of 3 buttons, but I want the buttons to be horizontal, next to each other, not vertical or one above the other. I must have gone blind because I can't find anything on this in the documentation.

Then of course you'd have to do the same with all the other buttons in the group.

We're not talking about option buttons, we're talking about command buttons. Yes, option buttons should always be oriented vertically. But command buttons are frequently presented in a horizontal row along the bottom of the screen.

But thanks for your input.

Cheers,
