Hi Pete,

If the checkboxes are from the Forms Toolbar, then try:

ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes = False

If they are from the Control Toolbox, try:

'=======================
Public Sub Tester01()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim oleObj As OLEObject

Set sh = ActiveSheet

For Each oleObj In sh.OLEObjects
If TypeOf oleObj.Object Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
oleObj.Object.Value = False

End If
Next oleObj

End Sub
'<<=======================

---
Regards,
Norman
