Need help with checkbox's and macros!

[ollierice]

Good afternoon,

I am new to VBA but I have managed to create quite a good macro sheet as a productivity tool for my work. However, I have put some check boxes (excel not activeX) onto my sheet. I would like a code/macro that will bring up a pop up box with the question "Are you sure?" and options yes/no every time the checkbox becomes TRUE. I need it to only bring up this box when the box is ticked, not when it is unticked?

Hope someone can help?

Thanks,

Ollie

Dear Olie,

I think the best way is to use ActiveX Check Box. In the event CheckBox1_Click() test if the checkbox is true and, if positive, use msgbox with option yes/no.

Good luck,

OK, so I have input this code

If MsgBox("Are you sure?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub

and it seems to do what I want it to do, however it continues to check the box even if you click no on the confirmation screen. Know where I have gone wrong?
