    I'm writing a programme in Visual Basic and it contains a number of option buttons. I've added a frame to the screen and placed the option buttons on it but now when it loads the option buttons aren't visible on the frame. there still there because if i click on where they are they appear, but this isn't much good to me as I need them to be visible when the form loads.

    Any Ideas?

    I take it this vb6? Are the option buttons visible on the frame in design mode? If not it might be as simple as clicking on the frame and selecting 'Send to Back' or the equivalent item.

    I can't remember if vb6 option buttons have a parent property or not and I don't have it installed.

    Yeah it's VB6. The option buttons do appear on the frame in design mode, they even appear for a split second when I run the program but then they disappear. I can still click on them and everything. I've tried 'bring to front' but it's made no difference.

    Are you sure that the option buttons are placed on the frame and not the under the frame? See if you can drag them outside the borders of the frame, if you can then the option buttons are on the form and not the frame.

    No there definitely on the frame I cut/paste them onto the frame from the form so if I try and move them I cant get them outside the borders of the frame.
