Checkbox & Combo Box help

**Sweetpea** · 07-17-2006, 01:14 AM

I just started working as an intern for a building contractor and was given this assignment. When people are having a house built, they need to choose different options and upgrades. One of the upgrades is for paint. I have very little experience with excel but managed to get most of it to work with functions and links but now I'm stuck.

After a couple weeks of digging into the help features and having only suffered two nervous breakdowns, I've almost got it figured out!... but I need help on a couple things.

If a client is choosing different upgrade features and has for instance, chosen the Master Bedroom in Red, both the master bedroom checkbox would be checked and the combo box would be set to red. Now, if the client decides to go with the standard features, they would then click the option button for "Standard Features". Here's the problem: The Checkbox and Combo box for the Master bedroom doesn't reset. Does anybody know a macro, link, function or any other way to make it so that once somebody changes their mind and goes back to standard features, all the upgraded features reset to the unchecked state and the "Choose Color" state?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you!

hi,
you will have to add code to EACH checkbox to uncheck other checkboxes. this
could get complcated depending on how may check boxes you have and how many
configurations you can have. but here is simple code for 2 check boxes. as
one is checked, the other is unchecked.
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If CheckBox1.Value = True Then
CheckBox2.Value = False
End If
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()
If CheckBox2.Value = True Then
CheckBox1.Value = False
End If
End Sub

this may not solve your whole problem but maybe it will get you started

You have that option button linked to a non-existent macro called
OptionButton13_Click.

Add this code to a standard code module

Sub StandardFeatures()
With ActiveSheet
For Each cb In .CheckBoxes
cb.Value = False
Next cb
For Each dd In .DropDowns
If dd.Name <> "Drop Down 59" Then
dd.ListIndex = 1
End If
Next dd
End With
End Sub

assign this macto to the Standard Features button, and you are away.

BTW, you would do well to rename all the CBs, Combos and buttons to
meaningful names, it aids programming.
