Where are the buttons  and boxes; are they on a VBA form or directly on
the sheet?

Are they ActiveX controls or form tools? Do they also output values to
cells?

The buttons  and boxes  are directly on the sheet. I don't know the
difference between active x control and form tools. But I think that
they are form tools. They do output values to cells. If you want I
can send you an example of what I am talking about.

I have copied below an example of some of the code behind couple of
the buttons and check  boxes

Private Sub OptionButton3_Click()
Range("R2").Value = 1
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()

If CheckBox1.Value = True Then
ActiveSheet.Range("ab42").Value = 1

Else
ActiveSheet.Range("ab42").Value = 0
End If
End Sub

Resetting your objects is pretty easy really. You do it with
code like this:

Activesheet.OptionButton3.Value=False
Activesheet.CheckBox1.Value=False

Be sure also to clear  the cells  they are linked to.
