Hi guys, I have a few questions about checkboxes... this is my first time working with them within a UserForm and I'm not 100% confident I know what I'm doing :eeek::oops:

A bit of background, I am creating a spreadsheet for recurring invoicing for trees; oaks, elms, you name it, we've got it. But some orders we can't process due to incomplete information provided. There are about 20 reasons we can't process orders. Most are straight forward and will be completed by the filling in the first page of the UserForm, but some require more information, so there's about 6 other tabs to fill in the additional information for the 6 reasons. Two are for selecting multiple reasons... for which I am using checkboxes. Like I say, I've never used checkboxes before.

  1. I have a bunch of check boxes delineating different choices in a page of a multipage userform. If the user selects one (or doesn't, as the case may be), does YES (or NO if unchecked) automatically populate in the cell the data has been assigned to?
  2. How can I switch pages if a box is checked? (i.e., most would enter "Yes" or "No" in a different cell in the worksheet, but one marked Other I would want to have direct to the Other tab which is just a big multi-line text box for inserting custom text if none of the prefab options apply.

The end result is a Word mail merge that you don't close the spreadsheet to run, and automatically runs when the Word doc is opened. Everything works beautifully... except the checkboxes and I've been sitting here :banghead: for a while now trying to figure it out.

Thanks!
