Just to re-enforce what Jim said, you are going a bit over the top when
you prompt the user if they really want to make the change. If they did
not want to make the change, then why is the form showing, or why did
they change it, at all? As Jim said, if it is important that you confirm the
change, then it should be done in the Apply, or OK button.

Putting them on the same container effectively groups them. (EX. putting them
on the same form) All option buttons on the same container are treated
equally (they all belong to the same group). If you want to use separate
groups in the same form, then you have to divide them up by putting the
groups on different containers (Frames, Pictureboxes, etc).
