    Hi Winon,

    I've tried that but still the size of the square doesn't change. Only the size of the "Caption" part it changing.

    Hello siobeh,

    Please upload a sample of your problem so that I can see where I can help.

    Attach a sample workbook, not a picture of your workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    You cannot change the size of the box.

    Re: Increase size of checkbox

    Hi siobeh,

    And again shg is correct in stating that one cannot change the size of the CheckBox.

    The only workaround would be to replace it with a TextBox to simulate the appearance of an Enlarged CheckBox.

    Regards.

    @ shg

    Once again, thank you for your great help. It is much appreciated.

    It is 02:00am here, Waaayyy beyond my shut eye schedule, so for now I say cheers.

    Have to be up at 06:00 again, so I will have to sleep fast to make up for the lost hours!

    Cheers guys.

    You can alter the size with zoom but it will affect everything.

    What's the reason for increasing the size?

    Hi Andy,

    I've see your attachment, and that's what i want.
    I just want to fit the size of the 'square' to size of the caption, that's all. How do you zoom?

    Zoom is a property of the userform.
