    Check Box Linking

    I have a sheet that lists stats for random items and each item has about 120 check boxes that need to be applied. Each linked to there own cell.

    In every case Ive used the +alt method to place each checkbox in its cell, Is there a macro I could run that would link each one of those checkboxes to the cell immediatly to it's right.

    Ive been tinkering with this for a couple of days now and its stoped being fun for me about a couple of days ago. If anyone could help me with this that would be fantastic.

    P.S. Im using Office 2007 and the checkboxes from the Forms Menu.

    Re: Help on Check Box Linking

    Hello ,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Here is a macro that will link all the Forms Check Boxes on the active sheet to the cell on the right. In keeping with standard Windows practices, the linked cell location will be in the same row as the upper left corner of the Check Box.

    7. Make any custom changes to the macro if needed at this time.
    8. Save the Macro by pressing the keys CTRL+S
