Hi, im tryng to convert my code from ActiveX Checkboxes to Wingdings "Checkboxes"

Thats the code im using for Wingdings
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
  Dim i As Range
  Set i = Intersect(Target, Range("Checkboxes"))
        If Prev(i) = "PrevNo" Then
            Exit Sub
        End If
  If Not i Is Nothing Then
    Cancel = True
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    If i.Value = "þ" Then
      i.Value = "¨"
      i.Offset(0, 1).Value = "No"
      'ToggleLock i.Row, False
    Else
      i.Value = "þ"
      'ToggleLock i.Row, True
      i.Offset(0, 1).Value = "Yes"
    End If
    Application.EnableEvents = True
   
  End If

And this is the code that im tryng to convert

VBA Code:
Function Prev(chk As OLEObject)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim PrevValue As Variant
 
    If TypeName(chk.Object) = "CheckBox" Then
    PrevValue = chk.TopLeftCell.Offset(-1, 0).Value
    If PrevValue = "0" Or IsEmpty(PrevValue) Then
        chk.TopLeftCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Not Checked"
        chk.Object = False
        MsgBox "Not checked", vbExclamation, "WARNING"
        Prev = "PrevNo"
    Else
        chk.TopLeftCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Checked"
        chk.TopLeftCell.Offset(1, -2).Select
        End If
    End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Function

That's my failed attempt with error

Type mismatch (Error 13)​

On string
VBA Code:
If TypeName(Range("Checkboxes")) Then

VBA Code:
Function Prev(i As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim PrevValue As Variant
Set i = Range("Checkboxes")
 
    If TypeName(Range("Checkboxes")) Then
    PrevValue = i.Offset(-1, 0).Value
    If PrevValue = "0" Or IsEmpty(PrevValue) Then
        i.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Not Checked"
        MsgBox "Not checked", vbExclamation, "WARNING"
        Prev = "PrevNo"
    Else
        i.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Checked"
        i.TopLeftCell.Offset(1, -2).Select
        End If
    End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Function
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Try adding a sheet reference
VBA Code:
Set i = Worksheets("YourWorksheetName").Range("Checkboxes")

Same error on

Set i = Worksheets("CAP").Range("Checkboxes")
 
   If TypeName(Range("Checkboxes")) Then
    PrevValue = i.Offset(-1, 0).Value
    If PrevValue = "0" Or IsEmpty(PrevValue) Then
        i.Offset(0, -1).Value = "Not Checked"
        MsgBox "Not checked", vbExclamation, "WARNING"
        Prev = "PrevNo"
    Else
