Excel userform not opening in unchecked form - excel

Question

I need a userform to load the the checkbox values in their unchecked form. They open with the boxes unchecked but they don't seem to be initializing that way. Here is the checkbox code and the open button code I have.
Private Sub cbxAdditional_Click()
If Me.cbxAdditional.Value Then
Me.Width = 524
Me.Height = 238.5
lstDatabase.Width = 480
txbxName.Visible = True
txbxComments.Visible = True
Else
Me.Width = 279
Me.Height = 238.5
lstDatabase.Width = 240
txbxName.Visible = False
txbxComments.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
--open code
Sub openform()
Test.Show
cbxAdditional = False
End Sub
I clearly am writing this wrong, when I opne the user form it starts in the IF form, how do I get it to open in the unchecked form?

Here's a very simple userform:
When you enter a userform, the UserForm_Initialize sub is executed. This sub is NOT automatically created in the code with the userform, but you can create it yourself. Any initialization or set up code should be performed here.
In my example below, I'm showing that the resetting of the checkboxes is a separate sub. I do this as a habit, just in case I have to add a reset button or something.
Option Explicit
Private Sub ClearCheckboxes()
Me.CheckBox1.Value = False
End Sub
Private Sub ResetButton_Click()
ClearCheckboxes
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
ClearCheckboxes
End Sub
