to change the icon it is:
project -> (project name) properties -> click on the make tab -> then choose the icon from the list

and as for the check boxes i dont have the foggiest or you could use listboxes or combo thingys :)

Well to close your program make a command button or something else that you click, and double click it to bring up the script editor then do the following:

Code: 
Private Sub Command1

End

End Sub

Or, the more memory efficient way:

Code: 
Private Sub Command1

Unload Me

End Sub

For the radio buttons I believe you have to load an ActiveX Component, right click the tool bar with all the tools like the add button tools or timer, and select components. Then scroll down and look for Microsoft Common Components or something like that. And see if it has that radio button, I could tell you now just I just had a virus and had to format and I don't have VB installed yet.

[EDIT] I just remembered you can't select more than one Radio box, you need to use the check box if you want to select more than one option. So ignore what I said before, I'll leave it there just incase you didn't know how to add models :) [/EDIT]

You have to actually put the radio buttons into those frames, not just move the buttons over them.

Just select the radio buttons you want to put in the first frame and cut them into the clipboard (Ctrl+X), then select the first frame, then paste the radio buttons into it (Ctrl+V). You'll notice that you can't move the radio buttons beyond the frame anymore, and that they move along when you move the frame.

Do the same for the second group of radio buttons and you're done.
