I found this online which is similar but opposite to what I need: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-q...ow-hidden.html

I have AD:AH grouped. In row 26 is a checkbox. When the user clicks the minus to hide the columns I would like to hide the check boxes. It appears the way to do that is to not have them be visible. In the URL above the first one is a message box that I would like to avoid if a can, and the second one had a X marking the rows. If need be I can put an X on row 30 marking which columns are grouped. Any help is always greatly appreciated.
