Save userform checkbox selections to array (to replicate on userform) - arrays

Question

How do I identify all the selected checkboxes in a frame in a user form and assign them to an array so that I can either/both: duplicate the selected checkboxes in one or more other frames & use the array to fill out spreadsheet cells?
Kind of a two-part question, but I think they go hand-in-hand (I'm not sure). I have a userform with multiple frames, and a lot of checkboxes inside each (SS) - I have a standard naming convention for all of them (explained bottom).
I will need to identify which checkboxes are selected (and the selection in the comboboxes) so I can put all that into a spreadsheet. I also will need the option for the user to copy all the selected checkboxes (and the selection in the comboboxes) from one frame to one to three of the other frames if s/he wants to. I have a "Copy" button that initializes a short userform to select which frame to copy from and which frame(s) to copy to. (For example: the ability to copy all the selections from the "Alpha Antennas" frame to one or more of "Beta Antennas" frame, "Gamma Antennas" frame, "Delta Antennas" frame.) Really stuck on what to do in the main form once I get that? I think one array will get me the two functions I need (copying one frame to another and filling out the spreadsheet) - but I don't know the next step. Any help?
Some code/naming/SS:
The command button that loads the main form:
Sub CreateADS()
Dim oneForm As Object
'==========================================================
'On Error GoTo ErrHandler 'Trying to catch errors - will input more down there, later
ADSinputform.Show
For Each oneForm In UserForms
Unload oneForm
'Unload ADSinputform
Next oneForm
End Sub
The main Userform beginning code:
Dim myCheckBoxes() As clsUFCheckBox
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
'======================================================
'couple pre-initialization things here
'======================================================
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim chBox As Control
Dim comboBox As Control
Dim arrFreq() As String
Dim i As Long
Dim siteName As String
Dim ctrl As Object, pointer As Long
ReDim myCheckBoxes(1 To Me.Controls.Count)
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
If TypeName(ctrl) = "CheckBox" Then
pointer = pointer + 1
Set myCheckBoxes(pointer) = New clsUFCheckBox
Set myCheckBoxes(pointer).aCheckBox = ctrl
End If
Next ctrl
ReDim Preserve myCheckBoxes(1 To pointer)
'Use the Split function to create two zero based one dimensional arrays.
arrFreq = Split("Unused|GSM,850|GSM,1900|UMTS,850|UMTS,1900|CDMA,850|LTE,700|LTE,850|LTE,1900|LTE,2100|LTE,2300", "|")
For Each comboBox In ADSinputform.Controls
If TypeOf comboBox Is MSForms.comboBox Then
For i = 0 To UBound(arrFreq)
'Use .List property to write array data to all the comboBoxes
comboBox.List = arrFreq
Next i
End If
Next

I'm not sure this can be done, and I'm not real sure where to even start with it. I know I can loop through all the controls and read the state or the combobox selection, but what to do after that?

Here's a simple example for a form with two frames, each of which has two checkboxes:
Dim f1 As Frame, f2 As Frame, c As Control
Set f1 = Me.Frame1 'has checkboxes "f1cb1", "f1cb2"
Set f2 = Me.Frame2 'has checkboxes "f2cb1", "f2cb2"
'loop over all controls in Frame 1
For Each c In f1.Controls
If TypeName(c) = "CheckBox" Then
'set the value of the corresponding control in the other fame
Me.Controls(Replace(c.Name, "f1", "f2")).Value = c.Value
End If
Next c
