    Checkbox help - Box won't check/uncheck when linked cell formula generates true/false

    I have a workbook set up with a Home page. When the user check that an option is desired (using CheckBoxes), then the worksheet with the matching Caption name will be displayed. When unchecked, the captioned worksheet is hidden. Because choices of which worksheet should be display varies based on the state selected, some of the choices must go through a true/false logic. All of my checkboxes are working correctly, except my newest changes.

    My true/false logic is displaying the desired result however it will not check and uncheck my linked Checkbox. when I clear the formula out and start over, it will work one time (and one time only). e.g. a fresh formula will check the linked checkbox when the formula is true, but when I change the variables generating a false in the linked cell, it won't uncheck the checkbox. Did I accidentally delete some VBA code which controls this? see screenshots.

    Can't reproduce your problem so there must be something else that is interfering.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Thanks for the tips. I finally managed to solve my problem. Once I simplified my vlookup to exclude nested if/thens, my checkbox started working fine.
