I wish it did constitute a recommendation to check or uncheck!! Thanks Wayne. I actually just found it when notification of your answer came in. I was hoping to have the checkbox as an overlay, rather than in a dedicated cell. I realize that I have to have it in a dedicated cell, so I am now in the process of revising the form.
I intend to save the form as a template. Unlike the USA's IRS, our stuff here in Belize is quite simple. I am surprised at how difficult it is to do tax returns in the US. No wonder things like Turbo Tax and places like H&R Block can actually make a profit. Apple Footer.

Using database software to restrict changes to data by a user is routine. However, the learning curve for programming in apps such as Microsoft Access may require more time than you have to invest as a small-business owner. Microsoft Excel has rudimentary database capabilities, and you may already be using spreadsheets in your day-to-day operations. Creating a Yes or No drop-down list in Excel uses a feature known only to some Excel users. Data validation offers a way to create drop-down lists with limited data entry options, such as Yes or No cells.
While not as intuitive as some Excel programming functions, data validation is the best way to create user-friendly Excel drop-down lists without resorting to separate database apps. Using Data Validation to Create a Drop-Down Menu in Excel Creating a Yes or No column in Excel implies answering a question. Typically, this question resides in one cell, and the Yes or No drop-down is set up in the cell immediately to the right of the question. To create a Yes or No column, select the cell beside the question and then:. Select the 'Data' tab on the Excel Ribbon and click 'Data Validation.'
. Select the 'Settings' tab, click the drop-down arrow on the right of the 'Allow' box and select 'List.'
. Enter the drop-down list items in the 'Source' box, separated by commas.
For a Yes or No drop down, type 'Yes,No' without the quotation marks. Click 'OK.' Your Yes or No cell now has a drop-down arrow on its right side. Clicking on this gives the spreadsheet user the opportunity to select Yes or No. They can also enter text directly, but if it's something other than Yes or No exactly as you entered, the error message 'This value doesn't match the data validation restrictions defined for this cell' appears.
Entries in a data-validated cell are even case sensitive. Data validation can be programmed into most desktop versions of Excel going as far back as Excel 2007. While you can't enter data validation using online or mobile versions of Excel, you can use drop-down lists created in desktop versions. Other Ways to Use Data Validation You're not restricted to lists for data-validated cells, although lists are a common use of the feature.
You can set a variety of validation criteria in the Allow box. For drop-down lists with items that change, you can enter and define an Excel table in the same workbook and then refer to that table in the Source box, rather than manually entering your list. Changes to the table automatically update on your drop-down list.
