Access grouped optionbuttons by index

Hi,
I have question concerning some basic programming techniques:
In VB4 it was possible to label optionsbuttons, which belong to the same
group or frame, with the same name and then access these grouped optionsbuttons
by optionbuttonname(index).
So it was possible to avoid writing many IF statements.
This is not possible anymore, at least I get an error when assigning the
same name to two optionbuttons.

I want to use this technique in VBA for Powerpoint which is based on VB6,
I think.
Is there a similar possibility in VB6/VBA?

Thanks

Not 100% certain what the equivalent terminology is in Powerpoint, but in
Access you'd name your buttons optButton1, optButton2 and so on. Then you
can refer to them as Me.Controls("optButton" & intLoop)

In Powerpoint 2000 it works exactly as you wrote.

Thanks a lot for your help
