VB6 has a limited number of named controls per form. To add more controls, you can use a control array. That means, give some related controls the same name, then you can access them by name and index number. So instead of OptionAlways, OptionMaybe, and OptionNever, you could have Option(0), Option(1), and Option(2).

Also, if your dialog is very complex and most of its features are rarely needed, consider moving some options to additional dialogs behind an [Advanced...] button.
