Use the AfterUpdate event procedure of the check box to SetFocus to where
ever you wish to jump to.

This example jumps to a control named SomePlaceElse if the user checks the
box named chk1, but not if they uncheck it:

Private Sub chk1_AfterUpdate()
    If Me.chk1.Value Then
        Me.SomePlaceElse.SetFocus
    End If
End Sub
