Thanks Tom, I've adapted this slightly as my checkboxes aren't necessarily
CheckBox1. I've inserted the following code into my macro and it works
nicely:

With ActiveSheet
.Checkboxes.Value = True
End With

I wondered if anyone knows whether checkboxes can be protected? Ideally I
would like my macro to determine whether the checkbox is ticked or not.

Regards, Paul
