CheckBox1.Value = False
CheckBox1.Value = True
will Tick/Untick the CheckBox for you.
You will need to add something like:
If range("A1:A10").value = "" then
Checkbox1.value = False
else CheckBox1.value = true

Not 100% with your code where the values will be in relation tot he CheckBox inserted, but
you may need to refer to those cells as an Offset from the CheckBox Row/Column.

I'm not sure what background is needed here so I'm going to
probably over post ...
I have a macro that inserts checkboxes directly to a worksheet. The
worksheets are created programmatically in a separate module prior to
the checkboxes being inserted.

Each checkbox is placed at the intersection of a unique column and a
row common to all of the checkboxes. Each checkbox is independently
named based on the column heading, for example, "chkBx_DC_RES".

I need to enable or disable the checkboxes based on the presence or
absence data in a different row in the parent column. Basicly the
checkbox provides the choice of using the data if it is present. if the
data is not present the box should be unchecked and disabled (not
selectable)

I need a suggestion or starting point for the code, obviously :o

Should this code reside in the Sheet code or in the modules? If it
needs to be in the worksheet code, I need to be able to created the
sheet code each time I create a new sheet so I would do that as part of
or subsequent to installing the checkboxes.

Thanks
Robert

The checkbox installation code follows:
