    Check boxes checked

    I was just wondering if it was possible to have a user form with check boxes that, after it is closed and reopened, the check boxes are still checked to show what options were chosen by the user. If this is possible, how would someone go about implementing this? I am using Excel 2007 and I don't have an example because it is just something I thought of.

    Thanks in advance.

    One way is to put a value in a spare Cell Toggle the caption with the checkbox value.

    When the form is Initialized, set the check box to the Cell value

    Thanks, Marcol, but could you explain what your code does, exactly? I'm looking at it and trying to understand, but I could use a little bit of help.

    Silly me of course it does!!!
    I forgot how Excel reads "TRUE"/"FALSE"

    I have appended a demo workbook for you to try.

    The code

    Is in the UserForm

    And in the workbook module
