Default Can I create a formula in Excel that evaluates form information?

I want to create a conditional formula in Excel that evalutes form data;
specifically, if a checkbox is selected, I want a specific value returned.
Is there a way to do that? Thanks for any help anyone can provide. I'm
using Excel 2003.

No, Conditional Formatting cannot get information from a
userform. You'd have to have the checkbox in the form write its
state to a cell, and then use the value of that cell in your
Conditional Formatting.

I hate to appear ignorant, but how do I have the checkbox write its state to
a cell?

Set the ControlSource property of the checkbox to the worksheet cell you
want.
