[Solved] Force Unbound Check Box to False/No Gray Fill

I have a report that generates an in-house physical invoice for an event. On this report is a small section for a staff member to make hand written notes regarding when we call a week before the event as a final confirmation.

I want to have an empty check box in this section for the person to put a hand-written check. I tried creating an unbound check box in the report but it defaults to the gray fill of a null valued check box when printed.

I tried setting it's default value in the report to 0 but for some reason I can't find a Default Value field among it's properties in the Property side bar. I did some research and thought that setting the Triple State value to No would solve this issue but it didn't.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the gray fill when the report is printed? The field is completely unbound--this check box is purely for hand written notes, it has nothing to do with the database itself. Thanks.

Since it's just for display, try putting 0 in the control source property.
 
I just tried it and when I try to open the report to print it, Access asks for the value of "0". I think it's interpreting 0 as the field name and since there is no field named 0...

Thanks for the suggestion though.
