Checkboxes apparently disappearing when they have not been ticked...
Checkbox has been set up in an Excel file. When it is not ticked, it apparently "disappears" and can't be found. Any suggestions. It's Excel 2016. Thanks
Roy Cox
What kind of checkboxes? The ones from the forms controls are the most reliable

Roy, that's what my code does (although yours has more examples).
Martin, I didn't look at yours, I couldn't post it earlier because I was at work. It's an example that I have posted in many different forums over the years.
Martin, my example dates back to 2010 and I also had examples in older versions of Excel. It actually uses 3 different Fonts to achieve alternatives to CheckBoxes.

They are using the Forms Controls but basically your advice is DON'T USE THEM summarizing of course.... :-)
I wouldn't use them and I think the problem increases the more checkboxes are added.

The main response from this post was DON'T USE CHECKBOXES.. :-)
