Referencing checkboxes on a worksheet from a form
Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to reference some checkboxes directly placed on a worksheet from code attached to a form. In other words, I want to click a button on a form and tell it to remove some checkboxes on sheet. To clarify that...yes I do want to "remove" the checkboxes, not simply to uncheck them. A second question: is there any way to allow a user to tick some checkboxes on a form, and then new checkboxes will be automatically created on the worksheet for those ticked items only? I am new to VBA. Any help would be most appreciated. Best regards, Brian. |

Referencing checkboxes on a worksheet from a form
Brian,
Like this ? Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() With Worksheets(1) .OLEObjects("CheckBox1").Delete End With End Sub For the 2nd part, record a macro whilst you add a check box to get something like: ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Check Box.1", Link:=False, _ DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=373.5, Top:=165.75, Width:=63.75, Height _ :=20.25).Select Combine this with the _Click event of your existing Checkbox. Presumable you would need to delete it also if the check box is then unchecked, otherwise the user will become confused; or do not use a check box for this action. NickHK "Brian" wrote in message ...

Referencing checkboxes on a worksheet from a form
Hi again Nick,
I spoke a little too soon, I looked at your reply and it looked very straight forward and logical. However, when I try to use the code to delete a checkbox I get the following error: Run-time error '1004': Unable to get the OLEObjects property of the worksheets class, and it highlights the following line: .OLEObjects(CheckBox10).Delete I do have a Checkbox10 by the way. I am not sure what that means. Best regards, Brian. "NickHK" wrote in message ... Brian, Like this ?

Referencing checkboxes on a worksheet from a form
Hi Dave,
thanks for the reminder. I did actually have the double quotes there originally and received the same error. I kept trying new things, one of them being removing the double quotes. I forgot to put the quotes back when I posted in the newsgroup. I am trying to figure out a different way of going about what I am trying to achieve. A little more reading is required I think.

Referencing checkboxes on a worksheet from a form
If you go back to excel and go into design mode (on that same control toolbox
toolbar) and then rightclick on the checkbox you want to delete, what's the name that shows up in the namebox (to the left of the formula bar)? Try using that. And you're sure you used a checkbox from the Control toolbox toolbar--not checkboxes from the Forms toolbar, right????? Brian wrote: Hi Dave, thanks for the reminder.

Referencing checkboxes on a worksheet from a form
Hi Dave,
If you are curious/interested at all as to what I am trying to achieve - I have placed my test file on my webspace. My document is at http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/cooloox/Newsgroups/ . I have placed notes on the first worksheet setting out what the macro is intended to do. Best regards, Brian. "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

Referencing checkboxes on a worksheet from a form
I don't like opening other people's workbooks--especially when they contain
macros. I'm not sure if you solved your problem, though. Brian wrote: Hi Dave, If you are curious/interested at all as to what I am trying to achieve - I have placed my test file on my webspace.
