Tick box question

Posted by Brad on January 31, 2002 1:22 PM

I have a tick box in my system and it is linked to a cell. The default text for the box being ticked is "True"-how can I change this to say "Yes" instead? Similarly, the unchecked box displays "False" in the linked cell-how do I change this to "No"?
Thanks in advance for any help

Brad,

One solution would be to use the checkbox from the Control toolbox instead of the one from the Forms toolbox. Using the Control checkbox allows you to put code into the checkbox event procedure. You could use the following code (modified as necessary for your situation) to get the result you desire.

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()    If CheckBox1 Then
        Range("I6").Value = "Yes"
    Else
        Range("I6").Value = "No"
    End If
End Sub

enjoy
