Hi Jeanie:
Looks like you are well on your way to learning exciting stuff. It is not clear to me what is your scope -- you said you want to use lots of fancy buttons, check boxes (you called them tick boxes, and then there are others like option buttons, and List boxes, and conbo-boxes, ...
You have two choices:
1) You can create some of these controls right in a worksheet -- for this you will go to VIEW|TOOL_BARS, and check on FORMS ... this will bring up your FORM controls tool-box on the worksheet. Now look at the various controls that are available in the tool-box, and install the controls of interest to you on the worksheet, and then later on you can arrange them to suit your fancy. Working with each of the controls and what type of data is handled by a particular control, and in what fashion will be an evolving process, and then the other approach is ...
2)While in a Worksheet, say Sheet1, click on ALT+F11, and that will take you the VBA (Visual basic for Applications) environment. If you want to create a form in VBA environment, goto INSERT|UserForm, this will bring up a UserForm for you to design. Use the associated tool-box to install various controls on the UserForm, and start having fun
By no means have I given you a complete solution, but this will get you started in exploring the various possibilities!
