    How can I make clickable boxes for cells?

    Somewhere I had read or saw a video of a method to create clickable boxes with Excel, but I forgot where it is. If you can find this resource then please tell me? Anyway, how would you make clickable boxes?

    Do you mean buttons or checkboxes? - VIEW->Toolbars->Control Box or VIEW->Toolbars->Forms

    This will give you the toolbar for buttons or checkboxes...you can add macros to them or have them export a TRUE / FALSE value.

    Here's a spreadsheet that I use to present different types of checkboxes. Take a look and if you have any questions, let us know. I prefer using cells as Checkboxes over the ControlToolbox or Forms but they are all presented.

    ChemistB, I like your workbook, but you are wrong about a control checkbox not being linkable to a cell.
    If you can't figure out how a formula works, try stepping through it using "Evaluate Formula" in the Formula Auditing menu item in the tools menu!

    If you want to see where your code went wrong, try stepping through it by clicking in the code and pressing F8 and watch as the magic happens!

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. You'll find people are disinclined to respond to cross-posts because they may be wasting their time solving a problem that has been solved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser)to the cross-post. Expect cross-posts without a link to be closed a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us help you!
