    Unhappy Selective printing (via checkboxes)

    Hi all,

    After many frustrating hours behind my desk, I hope to find the answer over here.

    For my work (unfortunately I cannot upload the original file) I have build a database with questions for a questionair (see the attachment for an example).
    The first sheet/tab is a form in which one can check certain boxes to print the questions that go with the checkbox.

    In tabs 2 and 3 (beer and wine in the example) a list of questions is visable, first in dutch and then in english.
    By checking the boxes on the first sheet, I would like excel to print the questions that are applicable to that checkbox.
    For example, when I check summer on the first page, I want excel to print all questions that are "selected" under summer with the letter "X" in sheets two and three.

    However, I can't get this to work even for a bit.
    Is there someone that can help me?

    Would be very much appreciated!

    Als je een keuze van 2 hebt: zomer/winter lijkt mij 1 vinkvak voldoende...: aan: zomer, uit winter.
    Dat maakt de kolommen in de volgende bladen ook eenvoudiger: de kolom 'zomer' hoeft alleen maar een X te bevatten als die vraag van toepassing is in de zomer.

    Put all the question into 1 worksheet.
    Add 4 columns after the questions: language, season, gender & subject.
    Never use merged cells !!
    Use only 4 checkboxes and name them checkbox 1,2,3,4 respectively.
    You can use autofilter in the sheet that contains the questions to filter the questions that meet the criteria:
    autofilter j, "X"
    or don't meet the criteria

    autofilter j, "<>x"
