I am writing a simple procedure to uncheck a checkbox if a certain
condition is met but I think it is executing the whole procedure again
on the value change step.

Try pasting this code into excel after creating a checkbox. Not sure
why the msgbox comes up again after I click on no.

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Dim s As Integer

s = MsgBox("Delete numbers?", vbYesNo)
If s = vbYes And CheckBox1 = True Then
'Do stuff
Else
'erase tick in checkbox since nothing was done
CheckBox1 = False 'This is where it brings up the msgbox again
which it shouldn't

End If

End Sub


Thanks for your help!

It's because you are changing the Checkbox value, thus trigger the
event again. One easy solution is this:
Sub blahblah
Application.EnableEvents = False
'BlahBlahCode
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Thanks for the quick reply Charles but it didn't work. Still gives me a
double msgbox.

Well I have a kluge fix for you. Hopefully one of the MVP's will show
us a better way.
Create a public boolean then check if that is set like so:

Dim Running as Boolean

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()

If Running Then Exit Sub

If MsgBox("Delete numbers?", vbYesNo) = vbYes And CheckBox1.Value =
True Then
'Do stuff
Else
'erase tick in checkbox since nothing was done
Running = True
CheckBox1 = False 'This is where it brings up the msgbox again
which it shouldn't
End If

Running = False
End Sub

Therefore when you hit the "else" statement you set running to true, so
that when it re-triggers the event it bypasses the 2nd event and exits
gracefully. I know it's klugy but it does work.
