Checkbox and button snag
 

This is not hard, but unfortunately DOES require VBA
code. But hopefully I can give clear instructions.
First, I hope you used the Forms toolbar instead of the
Controls Toolbox to create the button and checkbox, just
because the instructions would be a bit different, and
they are easier if you use the Forms controls:

1) Right-click on your button. In the name box (that is
up on the left of the formula bar - the box that shows you
the name of the cell(s) or named range you have selected)
you will see the name Excel has given to your button -
probably "Button 1" or something like that. Write it
down - you will need it. Also make note of the worksheet
name and the cell address that your checkbox is linked to.

2) Right-click on your checkbox. Choose "Assign Macro..."

3) A list will appear with a selection shown up on top
as "Macro Name:" - probably something
like "Checkbox1_Click". Leave that as it is and
press "New..."

2) You will be in the VBA editor and you should see
something like this:

Sub Checkbox1_Click()

End Sub

3) In between the Sub Checkbox1_Click() line and the End
Sub line, type this (I am including the Sub and End Sub
lines) - except where I have Button1 make sure you are
using the name of your button, your worksheet, and the
linked cell for your checkbox. Here I will use "Button
1," "Sheet1," and "D4":

Sub CheckBox1_Click()

Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes("Button 1").Visible = Sheets
("Sheet1").Range("D4")

End Sub

4) Exit out of the VBA editor and back to Excel. Now
(hopefully!) when you check your checkbox the button will
appear.

Hope this works for you

-----Original Message-----

I have been creating a spreadsheet and have been using a
lot of the
suggestions here to create it however I have now hit a
snag.

This is what I currently have done:

I have created a button that you press that is linked to
a macro that
will send emails along with attachments. It works great
but sometimes
you accidentally press the button it will do what its
supposed to do.

What I did was create a linked checkbox.

What I would LIKE to be able to do is ONLY show the
button if the
checkbox is checked.

Can I do that?

I would really like to be able to do it without VB as I
really dont
know how to program.
