If you show the properties of the checkbox, you can assign a linkedcell. This
linkedcell will return True or false depending on the status of that checkbox.

So if you used A1 as the checkbox's linked cell:

=if(a1=true,"It's checked","nope")

I want to use the Worksheet user's response to an ActiveX check box control
as a condition in a cell's formula. Specifically, if the user checks the
check box, I want to cell to display a particular character; if the check box
is left unchecked, I want the cell to test the next condition in the in the
formula. I want the cell to update if the user changes the check box from
checked back to unchecked. Can I do this in the cell's formula itself, or
will I need to use a VBA macro?

I am using Microsoft Office Excel 2003.
