    Checkboxes with linked cell's

    Hi all,

    I'm fairly new to VB so detail will be appreciated.

    I'm creating a checklist with a checkbox in every row with a written task to check and a macro to hide that task when the box is checked. I am using control forms checkboxes. The thing is i wrote a macro to hide the rows but i did it the lame way by asigning in a select case function each checkbox's name to the row nº underneath it. And there are quite a bunch of tasks so the select case is pretty big.

    Then i found out about cell linking to a checkbox and my question is: is there a function or command to retrieve the row nº from the cell's address linked to the checkbox i just clicked ?

    If there is no command or fuction able to do such a thing do u know a way for me to get around the burden of having to rewrite my macro every time i introduce a new task/line into the checklist ?

    Here is my code :

    Sub HideUnhide()

    Dim RowNum As Integer
    Dim s As String, cbx As CheckBox
    s = Application.Caller
    Set cbx = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(s)

    Select Case s
    Case "Casilla de verificación 13"
    RowNum = 13
    Case "Casilla de verificación 12"
    RowNum = 17
    Case "Casilla de verificación 14"
    RowNum = 19
    Case "Casilla de verificación 15"
    RowNum = 21
    Case "Casilla de verificación 16"
    RowNum = 23
    Case "Casilla de verificación 37"
    RowNum = 25
    Case "Casilla de verificación 22"
    RowNum = 27
    Case "Casilla de verificación 19"
    RowNum = 31
    Case "Casilla de verificación 25"
    RowNum = 33
    Case "Casilla de verificación 28"
    RowNum = 35
    Case "Casilla de verificación 40"
    RowNum = 37
    Case "Casilla de verificación 31"
    RowNum = 39
    Case "Casilla de verificación 34"
    RowNum = 41
    Case "Casilla de verificación 43"
    RowNum = 45
    Case "Casilla de verificación 46"
    RowNum = 47
    Case "Casilla de verificación 49"
    RowNum = 49
    Case "Casilla de verificación 52"
    RowNum = 51
    Case "Casilla de verificación 55"
    RowNum = 53
    End Select

    If cbx.Value = xlOn Then
    Worksheets("Hoja1").Rows(RowNum).Hidden = True
    Else
    Worksheets("Hoja1").Rows(RowNum).Hidden = False
    End If

    End Sub

    Mind the "Casilla de verificación" its spanish for "Checkbox".

    Thanks in advance.

    Just to let know anyone interested, i solved it by using the command line:

    LRow = cbx.TopLeftCell.Row

    to recover the row nº the checkbox is in, without any cell linking.

    Hope this helps someone
