If Sheets  Sheet1   OLEObjects  CheckBox1   Object Value   True Then   I believe Tim is right  You have a Form Control  For that you have to use this  If ActiveSheet Shapes  Check Box 1   ControlFormat Value   1 Then

A checkbox has a linked cell  which contains the True False representing the state of the checkbox  It is much easier to reference this cell s value than the value of the embedded object which is the checkbox    Manually  Right click on the checkbox  choose Format  click in the Linked Cell box  and select the cell to contain the checkbox value   In code   Set cbTime   ActiveSheet CheckBoxes Add 100  100  50  15  With cbTime      Value   xlOff     unchecked  xlOn   checked      LinkedCell     A 1  End With

It seems that in VBA macro code for an ActiveX checkbox control you use  If  ActiveSheet OLEObjects  CheckBox1   Object Value   True   and for a Form checkbox control you use  If  ActiveSheet Shapes  CheckBox1   OLEFormat Object Value   1

I found that I could access the checkbox directly using Worksheets  SheetName   CB Checkboxname value directly without relating to additional objects

You can try something like this      Dim cbTime  Set cbTime   ActiveSheet CheckBoxes Add 100  100  50  15  With cbTime      Name    cbTime       Characters Text    Time  End With  If ActiveSheet CheckBoxes  cbTime   Value   1 Then  or just cbTime Value      checked Else      unchecked End If
