I have created a program using VBA and I am attempting to use a form
for my first time. I want to have a checkbox that when checked allows
users to input additional items into the form. by default I want the
box to be unchecked and those input boxes grayed out and disabled.
what is the best way to do this? thanks.

In the userform code area, use the userform_initialize sub with code
like this:
CheckBox1.Value = False
In the CheckBox1_Change Event use code like this:
TextBox1.Enabled = Not(CheckBox1.Value)
TextBox3.Enabled = Not(CheckBox1.Value)

add code like this to the form

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
With Me
If .CheckBox1.Value = True Then
.TextBox1.Enabled = True
.TextBox1.BackColor = &HFFFFFF
.TextBox1.Enabled = True
.TextBox2.BackColor = &HFFFFFF
End If
End With
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With Me
.CheckBox1.Value = False
.TextBox1.Enabled = False
.TextBox1.BackColor = &HC0C0C0
.TextBox2.Enabled = False
.TextBox2.BackColor = &HC0C0C0
End With
End Sub

Thanks for the help. Chalres, I could not get yours to work. Bob, I
added an "else" to get the cells to revert to the default of gray and
disabled after being checked and unchecked. other than that, it
appears to be working perfectly.

thanks!

I wondered if you would want them to revert <g
