I'll try to be clear, but the situation is a bit confounding....

I have dozens of checkboxes (regular) on a sheet. I want to hide certain rows and use a macro to do so. In Excel 2013/16, everything works perfectly; that is, the row is hidden and the checkbox objects are Move and size with cell and are also hidden. When unhidden, everything goes back to visible.

When I run this in Excel 2010, initially, everything works exactly the same. However, when I save the file (again) and reopen it, when the rows are next hidden, the checkboxes all move to the collapsed/visible row - they have "moved" and will not move back.

I have tried deleting and recreating the boxes solely in 2010 and the behavior is the same. I have run with and without protection. I have tried Move and size with cells. I am out of ideas....

Any thoughts or suggestions would be remarkably helpful.

I am also looking at using ActiveX controls to do the same thing but am confused with how to create one example group of boxes (option boxes actually) in a frame and copy it and make them independent. But that will have to be a separate thread unless the answer is trivial....

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
