I am not sure that I understand the problem, but Excel automatically assigns
index nujmbers to objects as they are added to a collection on a worksheet.
Although you might have 12 checkboxes grouped in threes in a frame, Excel
still sees them as Checkbox1 thru Checkbox12. Otherwise, it would be
difficult to know which Checkbox is being referred to for execution or
value.
