1) Uncheck boxes with Macro Button - I have created a form in Excel which when protected, users can tab through and fill out either by typing, drop down boxes or checking a box. I created a macro button to "Clear Form" but the only thing it won't clear are the check boxes even though I've unchecked them while recording the macro. I'm using the legacy check boxes if that matters

2) Once I've created the macro, I cannot go back in and edit or delete it. I get an error: "Cannot edit a macro on a hidden workbook. Unhide the workbook using the Unhide command" Except, I don't have any hidden workbooks! I'm having to recreate the entire macro if I need to edit it.

3) I need this macro to be able to be run by different people on their own computers.

I'm not very experienced in VBA or Macros.
