Hello,

I'm putting in a checkbox and have it as a "mixed" value in the control
section.

When it first appears it is greyed out and is has a value of N/a, then you
click and it becomes false, then tick it and it becomes true - when you click
it again it becomes false.

What i would like is it to become N/a again and not revert back to False. Is
it possible to do this in '97?

Kelly,

I assume you are referring the linked cell. You can always just over-load
that cell with =NA()

Well you have to do something, that is one thing. There is nothing built-in,
so if you don't do that you will have to do something else, probably much
more complex.

Maybe you could use a checkbox from the Control toolbox toolbar instead.

Change the triplestate property to true. It seems to react the way you want.
