If ActiveSheet.Checkboxes("Check Box 9").Value = xloff

checked

How do you exit the form? (I assume by form you mean a
worksheet that you
have laid out to look like a paper form).

I you mean select another sheet then perhaps right click
on the sheet tab
and select view code. In the resulting code module Put
in code like

Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Me.CheckBoxes("Check Box 9").Value = xlOff
End Sub

I had to use the following code to get it to work

If ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects("Check Box 9").Value < 1
Then
etc.. etc..

how can I get the checkbox to reset on exit of the form
to make its state as unticked even if the last thing I
have done is tick it?

Assuming controls from the Control Toolbox Toolbar,
use
the click event for
the commandbutton
Private Sub Commandbutton1_Click()
if me.Checkbox1.Value = True then
' some code
else
' some other code
end if
End Sub

Post back if from the forms toolbar.

Hi,

I have two pieces of code, a button and a checkbox.

I would like to be able to have the button operate
one
piece of code should the checkbox be checked or
another
piece of code if it is left unchecked.

how would i lay it out?

Lynda.
