I have a group of 4 Outlook::OlkOptionButton's that I want to make tri-state.
By tri-state I mean I want the user to be able to select either 0 or 1 of the
4 buttons. If he clicks on a button that is already set, it should turn off
the button and then 0 of the buttons would be selected. Is that possible? Do
I need to use a different button type?

There are no buttons like that. If you click an option that's already
clicked it remains clicked. You'd have to simulate that with a set of
regular buttons or checkboxes. Of course the shapes are different.

Thanks Ken. I think I figured out another way around that problem. I haven't
implemented it yet, but I think it will work. Instead of making all 4 option
buttons part of the same group I can leave them stand-alone or make them part
4 seperate groups. Then I would have total control over which ones are
selected and which ones aren't programatically.

You would need to set each individual option in a frame or some container
that keeps each separate. In general all options not encapsulated within a
container such as a frame are treated as part of the same linked group.
