Changing name/caption on OLE object when it is added to doc via VB

K

I'm using the following code to add an option button to a document
(actually, dozens of them)

Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEControl ClassType:="Forms.OptionButton.1"

Rather than going back in and changing the caption, group, and control name
by hand in the properties box, it makes sense to just change them as they are
being added by VBA.

However, I haven't found a way to either include these changes in the add
line above, nor have I been able to figure out the syntax to select the
optionbutton that was just added (e.g. Activedocument.Selection) to change
these properties.

Can anyone provide a little guidance?

Thank you,
Keith
