It is easier to use a hidden excel sheet in the book that contains the
userform. I have a form with 1 textbox, 2 checkboxes, a Close button and
a Reload button. There is a sheet in the book called FromData and the
sheets visible property is set to xlVeryHidden.

When the user clicks close the forms settings are saved to the FormData
sheet. Next time the form is loaded if the user clicks Reload the
settings are returned to the form:

Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
With Sheets("FormData")
.Range("A1").Value = Me.TextBox1.Text
.Range("A2").Value = Me.CheckBox1.Value
.Range("A3").Value = Me.CheckBox2.Value
End With
Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub cmdReload_Click()
With Sheets("FormData")
Me.TextBox1.Text = .Range("A1").Value
Me.CheckBox1.Value = .Range("A2").Value
Me.CheckBox2.Value = .Range("A3").Value
End With
End Sub

Hope this helps
