Copying a Check Box to other cells
LPONG0413 Great news!
Notice SergeiBaklan 's comment! You still need to link each and every box to a cell 4999 times after copying it. The following macro could help out here. It creates 5000 checkboxes with a text label "YES", each linking to its own cell in column B. In this particular example the size of each box is 120 pixels wide by 30 pixels high. The first one will be put at coordinate (0, 0) i.e. top left corner of the sheet. Each following box will be placed 30 pixels below the previous one. If you set the row height to 30 for all rows, it'll work nicely. Of course, you may change the parameters to meet your own needs.
Sub Macro1()
Dim NextLoc, i As Integer
NextLoc = 0
For i = 1 To 5000
ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes.Add(0, NextLoc, 120, 30).Select
With Selection
.Value = xlOff
.Characters.Text = "YES"
.LinkedCell = "$B$" & i
.Display3DShading = False
End With
NextLoc = NextLoc + 30
Next i
End Sub

I will keep this macro for future reference.
Thank you very much for educating me. Hope you don't get tired of helping me.

alexpantz67 Sorry, but this is a very old post and since then the macro doesn't seem to work as intended on my system anymore. Furthermore, I've stopped using VBA and wouldn't know how to fix it.
