Hi.
I have a checkbox on one of the worksheets.
How can I access this checkbox programmatically in Excel?
Thanks a lot. I'm going to be crazy with this task.

It says "Unable to get OLEObject property of Worksheet class".

I dont think thats what he was asking though

From a VBA procedure you can get the value as follows

Dim MyFlag As Boolean
If ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("CheckBox1").Object.Value = True Then
MyFlag = True
End If
MsgBox MyFlag

Keith's code works for a checkbox from the control toolbox toolbar.

Perhaps you have a control from the Forms toolbar. If so
Dim MyFlag As Boolean
If ActiveSheet.Checkboxes("Check Box 1").Value = 1 Then
MyFlag = True
End If
MsgBox MyFlag

The code worked fine for me which suggests that either
you do not have an ActiveSheet or the code has a typo in
it. Note it must be 'OleObjects' not 'OleObject'

Please post your code here if you still have problems
