Thanks for the help. The hidden field idea got me to thinking about using
more Javascript. It will work nicely for me to have the checkbox "appear"
disabled by changing this.checked when they click and disable the tab stop
in ASP.NET
Modified from something found on the web:
Public Sub MakeReadOnly(ByRef CheckBox As CheckBox)
CheckBox.Attributes.Add("onClick", "this.checked=!this.checked;")
CheckBox.TabIndex = -1
End Sub

Thanks again,
