Default checkboxes and cell-link references...is there a better way

radio silence, not a word! Very frustrating. This could be an extremely
useful function if it weren't so time consuming to set up....and it is even
worse when you need to edit the worksheet.

I'm trying to do the same thing, Kim. I also posted a question similar to
this without any helpful response. It seems that we've finally stumped the
Excel Experts. Did you ever find an easier way?

Is there a quick way to copy a checkbox and have the cell-link reference not
remain constant? For example, I have a checkbox in cell A1 with the
cell-link as B1. If I copy the checkbox to A2, would like the cell-link to
be B2 (not B1.)

Also open to alternative suggestions -- I have a worksheet with a check box
next our client's names (500+ client names.) The list is grouped by company,
sorted alphabetically by client. The worksheet needs to updated and resorted
frequently and it is very cumbersome to redfine the cell-links. I have
considered using Access but the users or the check sheet are not particullary
"user-friendly" and we are all on different versions of the program.
