Default how do i create a macro to clear checkboxes and display a mess

I named the check boxes as you said and im getting an end sub error when I
try clicking one of the boxes. Was i not supposed to assign the macro to one
of the check boxes? Where do i assign the macro to?

I have about Ten "sets" of checkboxes that have the same problem
In order for this to work i simply used the click event of the checkboxes
(if they are form controls) to check the other check box eg you have two
check boxes, one is named WHITE the other is named BLACk

this is in the sheet module

private sub WHITE_click ()
if WHITE.value = true and BLACK.value = TRUE then
WHITE.value = false
BLACK.value = false
Beep
msgbox "You can not do that.
end if
end sub

Well the problem is I want the checkboxes to either have one checked or none
because im doing a business model for capital equipment so that it can only
have one add-on and not the other or none of them. Having three option
buttons would look odd on the sheet.

Why not just use Option Buttons instead of Check Boxes. They only allow one
to be checked at a time?

Im doing an excel sheet for work and need to program a macro so that say when
two checkboxes are checked at the same time it unchecks them and creates a
message box signifying an error. Maybe even have it play a sound too
