I am creating a workbook that contains multiple sheets. I want certain
sheets to be hidden once the workbook opens. Then I want the user to be able
to select the type of work via a checkbox. Once a checkbox is selected, I
want to be able to unhide the sheet that pertains to that type of work. Code
could either be off checkbox object or a cell that I used for Control Cell
link value (true/false). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is how I do it. Just right-click a sheet, name it password, and
copy/paste this code into the window that opens:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


Dim i_pwd As String

i_pwd = InputBox("Please Enter Password to Unhide Sheet", "Unhide Sheet...")
If i_pwd = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Select Case (i_pwd)

'#1
Case Is = "password1"
Worksheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Worksheets("Sheet2").Visible = True
Worksheets("Sheet3").Visible = True


'#2
Case Is = "password2"
Worksheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
Worksheets("Sheet5").Visible = True
Worksheets("Sheet6").Visible = True


'#3
Case Is = "password3"
Worksheets("Sheet7").Visible = True
Worksheets("Sheet8").Visible = True
Worksheets("Sheet9").Visible = True


'#11
Case Is = "showall"
Call ShowSheets


Case Else
MsgBox "Incorrect password; no action taken.", vbInformation, _
"Unhide Sheet..."
End Select

Exit Sub


End Sub

Follow the logic. You should changes the text in quotes to match the sheets
that you want displayed, when the user clicks the Command Button to fire the
code. one more thing, since this is event code, linked to a private sub,
make sure you use the button from the 'Control Toolbox'; choose the
appropriate toolbar menu.
