The problem is that just changing the names isn't preserved, you need to
do
it via Designer.

Something like this

Dim oVBProj As Object
Dim oVBComp As Object
Dim ctl As Control
Dim i As Long

Set oVBProj = ThisWorkbook.VBProject

On Error Resume Next

For Each oVBComp In oVBProj.VBComponents
If oVBComp.Type = 3 Then
For Each ctl In oVBComp.Designer.Controls
If TypeName(ctl) = "CheckBox" Then
i = i + 1
ctl.Name = "ChkBx_" & oVBComp.codemodule.Name & "_" &
i
ctl.ControlSource = "=A1" '"=ChkBx_" &
oVBComp.codemodule.Name & "_Link" & i
End If
Next
End If

Why would you not just set these as required in design mode?

I'm trying to avoid manually having to write the name and range name
in controlsource over and over 80 userforms x 20 chkboxes per form x 2
changes per userform.

By creating code I can simply create one set of instructions for the
first UserForm, use it once, then do a search and replace in the code
for the number (e.g. search for "Uf1" in the names called
"Uf1_name1...Uf1_name20" and Replace with "Uf2", etc.) and then run
the code again for the next UserForm and do this for each new
UserForm.

This would speed up the work a hundred fold, plus it avoids or limits
the chances for spelling errors.

Bob, thank you for your response. I don't really know what Designer
is and I'm afraid that what you suggest is way over my head and I
think it would be more prudent to do it the old fashion way.

Thanks none the less.
