Default Check Box names

I just tried it Sharon before posting and it worked fine for me. Where did
you get that message, in the code for testing, or when setting it up?

Hi Bob

Tried the GroupName but it assumes exclusive option buttons rather than
check boxes and the users have to be able to make multiple selections! I

got
an error message "Object doesn't support this property or method". Thanks
for coming back so quickly though.

Ah I see your problem now.

What I suggest doing is to select one group of CBs and set the Group
property to say "Group 1", then assign "Group 2" to the other group. You

can
then test that property

For Each obj In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects

' If the Checkbox was selected then ...

If TypeOf obj.Object Is MSForms.CheckBox And _
obj.Object.GroupName = "Group1" And _
obj.Object.Value = True Then
MsgBox obj.Name
End If
Next obj

Hi Bob

Here is the code that is being used to filter the pivots from the

check
boxes. But I have a second set of check boxes that allow the users to

filter
on a second pivot field. I don't know how to tell the vba how to

distinguish
between the two sets of check boxes!

Thanks a lot

Sharon

Public Sub CommandButton1_Click() ' Non-OLAP Country

Filter

Dim cbx As CheckBox
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim ctrl As Control
Dim obj As Object
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pi As PivotItem
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pf3, pf4 As PivotField
Dim cf As CubeField
Dim aState$()


Application.ScreenUpdating = True

' Loop through all of the CheckBox Objects on Selector

a& = 0 ' initialise counter

For Each obj In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects

' If the Checkbox was selected then ...

If TypeOf obj.Object Is MSForms.CheckBox And obj.Object.Value =

True
Then

'MsgBox obj.Object.Name
' Increment a counter
a& = a& + 1


' Expand the aState$ dynamic array to add another element

ReDim Preserve aState$(1 To a&)


' Initialize the new element of the array with the caption of

the
selected CheckBox

aState$(a&) = obj.Object.Caption

End If

Hi All - after having brilliant help last week re check boxes I

have
one
more question. I need to distinguish between two different sets

of
check
boxes (MSForms objects) on a worksheet. But for some reason vb

code
won't
recognise a check box name property e.g. obj.Object.Name in the

same
way
it
does for the value, e.g. obj.Object.value? If anyone has any

ideas I
would
be really grateful, as always!! Thank you all so much for your

help
thus
far. You are making me look good!
