Ok, here's a doozy from a total novice. Any help/insight/points in the right
direction(s) would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I'm looking to create:

A template workbook that, the first time it is opened, pops-up a dialogue
box with a list of 21 countries with a checkbox next to each (the default for
all checkboxes is to be checked). Each country coresponds to a worksheet that
exists in the template. Also, there's a list of countries and corresponding
infromation from that country listed on a title worksheet. Depending on
which of those checkboxes is unchecked by the user, the worksheet for that
country is deleted AND the row containing that country's information on the
title worksheet is deleted as well.

Is all of that even possible? Also, would there be a way to "re-check" a
country later and add it back in later?

That's a lot, I know, but I would be forever indebted to anyone who can
provide info on even just one piece of this.

Thanks so much,

Andrew

Bob -- Thanks so much. This is great. I appreciate your response.
