i got this from a PAQ, hopefully modded to what you need

'this will be the locations
dim x, y as integer

x = 100
y = 100

For i = 0 To ControlCount - 1

Dim ctrl As New System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox

ctrl.Name = "CheckBox" + i.ToString()
ctrl.Text = "CheckBox" + i.ToString()

ctrl.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(x, y)
'so its not one on top of the other
y += 16

'im assuming youre not needing event handlers...

Controls.Add(x) ' Add the control to the collection of controls
Next

Hello

Here's a sample, but isntead of reading the No of tables, it will read it from the user using InputBox, reading it from DB is easy using command object and call ExecuatScaler to return the No of CheckBoxes you want to create

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Num As Integer = InputBox("Enter No of check boxes", "CheckBoxes No")
Dim I As Integer

For I = 1 To Num
Dim chk As New CheckBox
chk.Left = 0
chk.Top = 20 * I
chk.Text = "CheckBox No " & I
Me.Controls.Add(chk)
Next
End Sub

HTH
