Recording a Macro

Posted by Jamie on March 22, 2000 1:25 PM

Hello All,
I've created a worksheet that includes several (28) checkboxes (from the forms toolbar) and I'd like to create a macro that resets them all to the "unchecked" value. The trick though is that I must have the sheet protected and the checkboxes themselves locked.
How can I do this?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi,

Sub test()

ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes.Value = xlOff

End Sub

U can change Activesheet with the actual name of the sheet. In case it's not active at the moment of execution.

Bye,
Jaime

That's it...can I ask one more?

Hi Jaime,
your post answered my question perfectly. Thank you. In fact it works so well that I'd like to do the same with my comboboxes but I don't know the code for that. I tried modifying the one you sent to work with the comboboxes but without luck. How would I do the same with all of my comboboxes? What I would like is for them to all contain the first variable of three drop down items.
Again, thank you so much for help with the first one.
Jamie
