Thanks, Harald and Tom.

I'll probably go with Harald's suggestion - remove the checkboxes and
use some other visual indicator. I wanted to retain a consistent
appearance within the table of checkboxes (where a user selects one or
more practices, via the checkboxes, that apply to up to 10 distinct
land areas), but for these particular 2 practices, the user provides
input elsewhere in the workbook that amounts to selecting the
practice, and I want to report it somehow in the checkbox table. Not
sure if this makes sense without going into great, boring detail.
Anyway, imho the appearance of the grayed-out checkboxes can be
confusing to an audience who isn't used to seeing them. Thanks again
for your input. Yeah....recursive code without end does slow things
down a bit! <duh

Oops. Thanks Tom. I missed the "I have 20 checkboxes that I do not want
users to be able to change" part, probably because it's meaningless to me.
Imo those boxes shouldn't be there. But enabled = false is definitely a good
option if "this is for the big guys and you're definitely not one of them"
is an important message for the users.

Best wishes Harald
