Hi,

I am looking to insert a new checkbox into the next empty cell. I can get this far, but then can't specify the properties of the box. See below:

ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add "Forms.CheckBox.1", Left:=1206, Top:=(Range("T" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Top) + 2.25, Width:=12, Height:=12

I want to give the checkbox the following properties:

.Caption = ""
.Value = xlOff '
.LinkedCell = Range("T" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
.Display3DShading = False

If I then introduce a filter to the headings of the columns, will the checkboxes reorder if I change the order of another column?

Thank you

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
I would also like to know if there is a way to get the checkboxes to move with their associated row when using filters and sorting.

While your code adds an ActiveX checkbox, it tries to set the Value property with a constant used for a Form checkbox. For an ActiveX checkbox, the Value property is set using True or False. Also, unlike a Form checkbox, an ActiveX checkbox does not have a property called Display3DShading. Can you please confirm whether you in fact want to add a checkbox from the Form controls or the ActiveX controls?
