Hi,

I would like to know how to reset a check box (It is from the forms
toolbar). At the moment; the checkbox calls a macro:

Sub Checkbox4_Click()
WFState = 1
'ActiveSheet.checkbox4.Value = False
End Sub

The ActiveSheet.checkbox4.Value does not work for some reason!!

--------------------

I have a "Ok" pushbutton, when then does the following

Sub AddNextActions_Click()
Dim sheetName As String

If WFState = 1 Then
sheetName = "Waiting-For"
WFState = 0
Else
sheetName = "Next-Actions"
End If

NewRow = Worksheets(sheetName).Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Ro w + 1

Worksheets(sheetName).Cells(NewRow, 2).Value =
Worksheets("Dashboard").Range("L13").Value
Worksheets("Dashboard").Range("L13").Value = ""

End Sub

-------------------------

Now ideally I would not want to even have the "Checkbox4_Click()"
routine, but would rather like to check the status in the

If WFState = 1 part here. Moreover, I also want to reset the Checkbox
as soon as I have decided which sheet to update.


Cheers

This works for me

Sub Checkbox4_Click()
WFState = 1
ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes("CheckBox4").Value = False
End Sub

but it is odd code, if they set it, you un set it?

Hi Bob,

This is what I am trying to do. I want to update a certain worksheet
if I have the check box clicked and another one if I dont have it
clicked. I am not a VB guy, in fact I am just a couple of hours old in
VB. I am totally not sure if this is the best way to do it too!! :)

I get the error

Unable to get checkboxes property of the worksheet class!

So why are you doing it in the click event. Just check it directly in your
macro

If Activesheet.Checkboxes("CheckBox4") Then
'do one thing
Else
'do another
End If

BTW, did you rename the checkbox? On my system, the forms CBs tend to take a
name of the form Check Box 1, etc.

Hi,

I have now removed the click event, now the macro looks like this

Sub AddNextActions_Click()

Dim sheetName As String

If ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes("Waiting For") Then
sheetName = "Waiting-For"
ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes("Waiting For").Value = False
Else
sheetName = "Next-Actions"
End If

End Sub

I have called the checkbox "Waiting For", but I get the runtime error
1004 -- Unable to get Checkbox property of worksheet class !!

Should I initialize something somewhere!!

warm regards

karthik
