Dear all,

I've found a way to change the text *next to* a single checkbox on a worksheet with this code:

Sub change()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Check Box 12")).Select
Selection.Characters.Text = "any_new_text"
End Sub

But If there are many textboxes in a file, on different worksheets, there must be a way to address them all in one go. I also managed to read the 'name' and 'alternative text' of shapes with this code:

Dim c As Shape
For Each c In Worksheets(1).Shapes
Debug.Print c.Name & " " & c.AlternativeText
Next c
End Sub

I guess there must be a way to change the text (which appears not to be the properties 'Name' or 'Alternativetext') of all shapes, but can't get my head around it. Anyone who can?

Regards,
Dr
