Sure, The cool thing about VBA is you can pretty much make it do watever you
want. So; you have a userform with some Check boxes on it and those check
correspond with some textboxes? Perhaps you could share what your trying to
do?

The good news is your on the right track A userform souds like the way to go
for what your doing. I would suggest the first Checkbox Controls a frame
control with textboxes' in it to collect user info. that will look somthing
like this.
This Example has a Checkbox Control a Frame Control a couple of textboxes on
a user form After adding the controls hit F5 or the "play" button in the VBE
to run the userform If all goes well when you click the check box the frame
should show up

Option Explicit
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If CheckBox1 = True Then
Frame1.Visible = True
ElseIf CheckBox1 = False Then
Frame1.Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.Frame1.Visible = False
End Sub

Forgive me i had made a few assumptions. Step by Step what i what you to do:
1. Open Excel
2. press at the same time Alt +F11
Result: You'll see the "VBE" (Visual Basic Editor)
3.View --Project Explorer
4.Right Click"VBAProject(Book1) " this may vary slightly
5. Insert -- UserForm
6. Add a Check box from the Control toolbox
7. add a frame control in the same way
8. add a couple of textboxes inside the frame
after you have added all your control fro the example
click somewhwere on the userform
9. hit F7 this will show you where the code goes
10.Delete everything thats there and Copt and paste this:

option Explicit
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If CheckBox1 = True Then
Frame1.Visible = True
ElseIf CheckBox1 = False Then
Frame1.Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.Frame1.Visible = False
End Sub

11. Hit F5 this should run the uesr form check and uncheck the box to see
what happens.

I guess then you Checkbox is on a Spreadsheet? We can work that too.
From the VBE goto
Insert-- UserForm that will create a useform it should also show th toolbox.
