Using forms and userforms- how do you do this

[pi]

I am creating a form and mostly using the buttons from the forms toolbar.
However I want to use the spin and option buttons in various groups. I know how to create userforms and to show the form.
However when I mix the both I cannot access the userform when I protect the form, as this is the pre-requisite to access the form.
How can I overcome this?

Thanx in advance
