Can somebody answer this?

I don't understand why all but one of the incorrects come out correct! Here is my code.

[vbcode]
Private Sub cmdCheck_Click()
If optCal.Value = optSac.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optCol.Value = optDen.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optIll.Value = optSpr.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optOre.Value = optSal.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optWis.Value = optMad.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optSac.Value = optCal.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optDen.Value = optCol.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optIll.Value = optSpr.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optOre.Value = optSal.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optWis.Value = optMad.Value Then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
Else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
End Sub
Private Sub optCal_Click()
'assign correct capital to strCapital variable
strCapital = optSac
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optCol_Click()
'assign correct capital to strCapital variable
strCapital = optDen
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optDen_Click()
'assign capital choice to strChoice variable
strChoice = optCol.Value
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optIll_Click()
'assign correct capital to strCapital variable
strCapital = optSpr
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optMad_Click()
'assign capital choice to strChoice variable
strChoice = optWis.Value
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optOre_Click()
'assign correct capital to strCapital variable
strCapital = optSal
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optSac_Click()
'assign capital choice to strChoice variable
strChoice = optCal
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optSal_Click()
'assign capital choice to strChoice variable
strChoice = optOre
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optSpr_Click()
'assign capital choice to strChoice variable
strChoice = optIll
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

Private Sub optWis_Click()
'assign correct capital to strCapital variable
strCapital = optMad
'clear label control
lblMsg.Caption = " "
End Sub

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with this, but there are 2 instances when the lblMsg Label will display "Incorrect".

When either optWis or optMad are selected.

This is because of the way you have structured your IF.. Then Statements, the last IF Statement compares the values of optWis and optMad, as these are Option, (Radio), buttons only 1 will ever be selected, therefore optWis.Value = optMad.Value will always be False when either optMad or optWis is selected.

Maybe you need to use Checkboxes?

This kind of IF..Then loops can be really confusing!!
Check this:- First part of Your code:

If optCal.Value = optSac.Value then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If
If optCol.Value = optDen.Value then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
else
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
End If



Take the case of optCal.Value = optSac.Value AND optCol.Value <> optDen.Value.. what will happen the first if will set the value of lblMsg to "Correct", which is immediately overwritten by "Incorrect", because of second IF.
I dont know if any of these option buttons are enclosed in a frame, which will automatically force only one of them ON at a time.

First clear up your "IF" loops . If there is some inherent priority in checking for IFs, then i will put a Exit sub after every "if", when ever a success occurs
If there is no need for that, then i will check with combined IF statements.
Still simpler, start off with a default (negation say) lblMsg = "Incorrect" and only on positive IF, i just set it to "Correct" like:

lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
If optCal.Value = optSac.Value then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
End If
If optCol.Value = optDen.Value then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
End If
If optIll.Value = optSpr.Value then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
End If
If optOre.Value = optSal.Value then
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
End If



Also, i notice that
"If optCal.Value = optSac.Value Then"
and some where down the line:
"If optSac.Value = optCal.Value Then"
Aren't they both same!! Order doesn't matter.

I did it this way.

[vbcode]
lblMsg.Caption = "Correct"
If optCal.Value <> optSac.Value then
lblMsg.Caption = "Incorrect"
etc...
