Since you cannot increase the size of an a checkbox in Excel, I'm making one
using VB.

Below is the code that I have compiled to allow the user to check/uncheck a
box...

However in addition to the code below, I need to add code to apply the
contents of the autoshape to a cell on my sheet, therefore if the box is
checked my cell will say true, otherwise it will say false. Please HELP!!!

Sub MyCheckbox_Click()
Dim strName As String
strName = Application.Caller
If Left(strName, 3) <> "chk" Then strName = "chk" & strName
If ActiveSheet.Shapes(strName).TextFrame.Characters.Text = "" Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes(strName).TextFrame.Characters.Text = "ü"
Else
ActiveSheet.Shapes(strName).TextFrame.Characters.Text = ""
End If
End Sub
 
Not sure if this is what you want but it is one way to doi it.
Assume that Range("A1") is the range that displays "True" or "False"

Sub MyCheckbox_Click()
Dim strName As String
strName = Application.Caller
If Left(strName, 3) <> "chk" Then strName = "chk" & strName
If ActiveSheet.Shapes(strName).TextFrame.Characters.Text = "" Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes(strName).TextFrame.Characters.Text = "ü"
ActiveSheet.Range("A1") = "True"
Else
ActiveSheet.Shapes(strName).TextFrame.Characters.Text = ""
ActiveSheet.Range("A1") = "False"
End If
End Sub
