Default Inserting a blank "check box" on a report

I'm designing a response card for a mailing and I need to include some check
boxes next to some text boxes. How can I do it, short of adding an empty
text box (and tiny!) with its border set to solid.

Actually, using text boxes is the recommended approach.

Text boxes are simple enough.

If you want something a bit more snazzy, you could use a character from the
Wingdings font in the Caption of a label.

I know really tinny text boxes are recommended, but getting them to look
proper is difficult. We create a constant "false" field in the query and
link it to a checkbox control on the report. If we have multiple checkboxes,
we link the same query field to all controls. We tried having an unbound
checkbox, but could not get rid of the gray hue, so the constant false query
field took care of it.
