Hi,

I would like to ask how to lock multiple checkboxes in VBA instead of manually locking the checkboxes one by one?

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Sheets("Sheet1").Select

'CheckBox1.Locked = CheckBox1.Value
CheckBox2.Locked = CheckBox1.Value
CheckBox3.Locked = CheckBox1.Value
CheckBox4.Locked = CheckBox1.Value
CheckBox5.Locked = CheckBox1.Value
.
.
.
.
CheckBox999.Locked = CheckBox1.Value

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"

first you need create new "Class Module" with name "Class1" then place this code into it:
VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Public WithEvents newChB As MSForms.CheckBox

Private Sub newChB_Change()
    Dim cb As Control
    For Each cb In UserForm1.Controls
        If TypeOf cb Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
            If Not cb Is newChB Then cb.Locked = newChB.Value
        End If
    Next cb
End Sub

next, create new module and place this code at first:
VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Private newCheckBox() As New Class1

Sub CheckBoxControl()
    Dim cb As Control
    Dim i As Integer
    ReDim newCheckBox(1000)
    For Each cb In UserForm1.Controls 'change UserForm1 to your userform name
        If TypeOf cb Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
            Set newCheckBox(i).newChB = cb
            i = i + 1
        End If
    Next cb
End Sub

and final is call CheckBoxControl in Initialize Event of your userform:
VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Call CheckBoxControl
End Sub

with this code, you can lock and unlock all checkboxes except that you clicked

Option Explicit

Private newCheckBox() As New Class1

Sub CheckBoxControl()
Dim cb As Control
Dim i As Integer
ReDim newCheckBox(1000)
For Each cb In UserForm1.Controls 'change UserForm1 to your userform name
If TypeOf cb Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
Set newCheckBox(i).newChB = cb

then change it like this:
VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Private newCheckBox() As New Class1

Sub CheckBoxControl(ByVal uf As UserForm)
    Dim cb As Control
    Dim i As Integer
    ReDim newCheckBox(1000)
    For Each cb In uf.Controls
        If TypeOf cb Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
            Set newCheckBox(i).newChB = cb
            i = i + 1
        End If
    Next cb
End Sub

and
VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Call CheckBoxControl(Me)
End Sub

to do it for each userform, you should call "CheckBoxControl" for all Initialize event of each userform

still the same, if all your user forms in same file then just need call CheckBoxControl for each user form, only need 1 class module
This will be my 1 class module?

Option Explicit

Public WithEvents newChB As MSForms.CheckBox

Private Sub newChB_Change()
Dim cb As Control
For Each cb In UserForm1.Controls
If TypeOf cb Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
If Not cb Is newChB Then cb.Locked = newChB.Value
End If
Next cb
End Sub
