Hi

I am new to this site, and I am not normally working in VBA excel (IT Project Management), so I was hoping for some help here :-)

I am currently making a template for the customer to fill out, and they have asked for the opportunity to select a check box multiple times. Right now, all the sheets are hidden, until You select a specific check box, a sheet will appear. But... I simply can't figure out how to make a check box be deselected (then the sheet gets hidden again) and when selected again a new "fresh" sheet appears, but the "old" sheet is still saved.

I hope this is not described too complicated :-D
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
If I understand correctly you want.

When Checkbox1 is checked you want sheet(4).visible=True
When Checkbox1 is not checked you want sheet(4).visible=False and:
You wanted a new blank sheet created.

If that is what you want try this:

Modify script as needed.

Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If CheckBox1.Value = True Then Sheets(4).Visible = True
If CheckBox1.Value = False Then
Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = "New " & Sheets(Sheets.Count).Index
Sheets(4).Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Not exactly. If fx I want to select "Bananas" which is checkbox1. Then Worksheet "Bananas" will open, when I select it. BUT. If I need to make two different orders on bananas in the same template, then I need to deselect checkbox1, and then select it again. Is there a way where the second time I select checkbox1 it opens another sheet (I can make several sheets named Bananas if required).

Hope this clarifies my special needs :-D

I do not know of any way to tell a check box if I select you one time do this and then the next time I select you do this.

Check boxes are normally used as on and off switches.
The same with Option buttons

Why not use a listbox.

Then the user selects a value from the listbox.

This would then only require one list box and not a large number of named Check boxes.

And you can only have one sheet named "Banana"
