I have several option groups and want to limit the choices on one based on the the selection in another - can this be done say on the after update event of the 1st one? If so how would I do it?

for example the 1st option group has 2 choices and the 2nd option group has 6 choices which relate to the 1st choice and 6 that relate to the 2nd. I want the choice in the 2nd option group limited to the relavant 6 choices
 
I named my option buttons OptA through OptF in the second option group. I used the locked property, but you could use the visible property or other properties
Code:
Private Sub optGrpTwo_Enter()
  'Lock options D-F if they pick the first option in the first option group
  OptD.Locked = (optGrpOne.Value = 1)
  optE.Locked = (optGrpOne.Value = 1)
  optF.Locked = (optGrpOne.Value = 1)
 'Lock options A-C if they pick the second option in the first option group
  optA.Locked = (optGrpOne.Value = 2)
  optB.Locked = (optGrpOne.Value = 2)
  optC.Locked = (optGrpOne.Value = 2)
End Sub
