I am importing a text file into spreadsheet one line at a time, I
would like to add a checkbox for each line for the user to be able to
select multiple rows. How do i create a checkbox in a cell? Then
remove it.

Randy,

Here is an laternative approach I have previously suggested

Another way is to use this technique of having a check column, and
monitoring
it with a worksheet selection change event. Add your code as needed.

Rather than use a checkbox, I suggest just using a check column. So if we
assume that the data is in A1:E100 (change to suit), clicking in column A
will do what you want with this code. Add this code to the worksheet module
(right-click on the sheet name tab, select the View option, and then paste
this code in).

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo sub_exit
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value = "a" Then
.Value = ""
Else
.Value = "a"
.Font.Name = "Marlett"
End If
End With
End If
sub_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I when with this code, trying to use checkboxes slowed the system down
to a crawl. Sometimes the rows can be thousands long.

Now I would like to make the row background color yellow when checked,
can you help with this, I can make the same cell change but not the
row.
