I have a quick question about checkboxes. I am trying to change the values of checkboxes on a tab using VBA. I have one piece of code working that triggers when certain cells change, and updates the value of the checkbox accordingly. this code is located on the worksheet. i have another section of code located in a module that does not work. In both instances, i am referring to my checkboxes as me.CbName. do i need to refer to them differently when i have my code stored in a module?


This code does not work (stored in a module)
Code:
Sub deleteme()
Dim xyz As Boolean
xyz = True

If xyz = True Then Me.CBRates = True

End Sub

This is the code that works (stored on the worksheet)
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim KeyCells As Range

' The variable KeyCells contains the cells that will
    ' cause an alert when they are changed.
    Set KeyCells = Range("C4:E50")

If Not Application.Intersect(KeyCells, Range(Target.Address)) _
           Is Nothing Then

' Display a message when one of the designated cells has been
        ' changed.
        ' Place your code here.
        'MsgBox "Cell " & Target.Address & " has changed."


    If Target.Address = "$C$4" Then
        
        
    ElseIf Target.Address = "$C$5" Then
        'Census Views?
        If Target.Value = "Yes" Then
            Sheets("Census").Visible = True
            Me.CbCensus = True
        Else
            Sheets("Census").Visible = False
            Me.CbCensus = False
            Call ImportScript
            Call ShowRow
            Call ShowCol
            'MsgBox "Be Sure to Import the Census"
        End If
      
        
    ElseIf Target.Address = "$C$6" Then
        If Sheets("Case Info").Range("C6").Value = "No" And Sheets("Case Info").Range("C7").Value = "No" Then
            Sheets("Current Benefits").Visible = False
            Me.CBCurrentBen = False
        Else
            Sheets("Current Benefits").Visible = True
            Me.CBCurrentBen = True
        End If
        
    ElseIf Target.Address = "$C$7" Then
        If Sheets("Case Info").Range("C6").Value = "No" And Sheets("Case Info").Range("C7").Value = "No" Then
            Sheets("Current Benefits").Visible = False
            Me.CBCurrentBen = False
        Else
            Sheets("Current Benefits").Visible = True
            Me.CBCurrentBen = True
        End If
        
    ElseIf Target.Address = "$C$8" Then
        'Are there custom plans?
        If Target.Value = "Yes" Then
            Sheets("Custom Benefit Request").Visible = True
            Me.CBCustom = True
            'MsgBox "Be Sure to Import the Census"
        Else
            Sheets("Custom Benefit Request").Visible = False
            Me.CBCustom = False
            ImportScript
        End If
        
    ElseIf Target.Address = "$E$8" Then
        'How Many?
        ShowColCustom
    
    ElseIf Target.Address = "$C$39" Then
        If Target.Value = "Commission" Then
            Rows("40:42").EntireRow.Hidden = False
        ElseIf Target.Value = "PSF" Then
            Rows("40:41").EntireRow.Hidden = False
            Rows("42:42").EntireRow.Hidden = True
        Else
            Rows("40:42").EntireRow.Hidden = True
        End If
        
    ElseIf Target.Address = "$C$43" Then
        If Target.Value = "Yes" Then
            Rows("44:48").EntireRow.Hidden = False
        Else
            Rows("44:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True
        End If
    
    
    End If





End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Me has no meaning when used in a standard Module. It will cause a compile error. You have to use the codename or tab name of the worksheet you want to refer to. One of the following:

VBA Code:
If xyz = True Then Sheet1.CBRates = True

If xyz = True Then Worksheets("My Sheet").CBRates = True
