Character Choice

I am trying to allow users to select one of two characters for a game. The game play would be the same, just the character graphic would be different. I have tried to set up a form with the options as optionButtons. The user should then select which character and then this should be passed to a separate form which then calls the proper graphic file. These seems simple enough but has not proved to be. Any ideas or sample code would be greatly appreciated.

This is the start-up form
"Private Sub Command1_Click()

If Option1.Value = True Then
modDD.sGameType = 1
Else
modDD.sGameType = 2
End If

frmMain.Show

End Sub"

Then sGameType is in ModDD As:

"Public Sub sGameType(sGameType As Integer)
Dim GameType As Integer

GameType = sGameType

If GameType = "1" Then
Call DD_CreateSurfFromFile(App.Path & "male.bmp", MaleSurf, MaleSurfDesc, 200, 100)
Else
Call DD_CreateSurfFromFile(App.Path & "female.bmp", femaleSurf, femaleSurfDesc, 200, 100)
End If

End Sub"

I am getting a compile error:
Argument Not Optional

with sGameType in the Start-up form highlighted.

Well...there are a number of problems...

1) the error is likely caused by the way you are calling your sub. It should be
modDD.sGameType 1
instead of
modDD.sGameType = 1

2) in the sub you should have
if GameType = 1 then
instead of
if GameType = "1" then

I had a similar feature in my Pokémonopoly game... you could choose 1 of four different colored pieces, wich were bitmaps... all I did was set a variable somewhere to a number 0 - 4 depending on their choice, and then whenever I would move the piece, just set the .image to my variable.
