Oh, absolutely correct! I'm on Excel 2000.

Hope your comment solves the problem.

Thanks!

I'm not sure Hans noticed you were asking about Excel 2007.

Check boxes, etc., are on the Developer tab of the Ribbon. The Developer
tab is not visible by default. To make it appear click the Office menu (the
circle in the top left of Excel) and then click Excel Options at the bottom
right of this menu. Select the third item on the "Popular" section.

Then on the Developer tab click Insert in the Controls group. I'd suggest
you select the Forms check box but the ActiveX version is there too.

| You can insert a checkbox from the controls toolbar.
|
| Click "design" (the grean triangle) then click the checkbox icon and
| drag a rectangle over the cell where you want the checkbox to appear.
| Then right click the checkbox and select "properties", Under "linked

| checkbox and under "caption" you explain what the box is to specify.
