When I use the Forms Toolbar to put a checkbox on a worksheet, it names the
control 'Check Box 1' and sets its Text property to that name. That's nice,
except that I always change it (right-click and Edit Text) so that the text
is something else, and then I cannot see the name of the control after the
edit of the Text.

When I use OLE to access (read the state of) the checkbox from an external
program, it needs to know the name of the control. Since the Text property
was edited to something other than the original control name, the only way
I've found to determine the name of the control in Excel is to right-click on
it and choose "Assign Macro" because the propsed macro name has the control
name embedded in it.

Is there some more convenient way to tell the name of a checkbox control on
a spreadsheet?
