This worked great.

However I realized the code doesn't work for checkboxes that are grouped together. Sorry for adding a question to this answered thread, but is there a way to include checkboxes that are grouped as well?

If you have one level of groups:

Sub Oval1719_Click2()
    Dim shp As Shape
    Dim shp2 As Shape
    On Error Resume Next
    For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
        If shp.Type = msoFormControl Then
            If shp.FormControlType = xlCheckBox Then
                shp.ControlFormat.Value = False
            End If
        ElseIf shp.Type = msoGroup Then
            For Each shp2 In shp.GroupItems
                If shp2.Type = msoFormControl Then
                    If shp2.FormControlType = xlCheckBox Then
                        shp2.ControlFormat.Value = False
                    End If
                End If
            Next shp2
        End If
    Next shp
End Sub

If you have groups within groups, we'd need a recursive procedure. Let me know.
