ahh, yeah I've had that too, it was pretty anoying as I couln't select a row when clicking on a non editable cell, but that was only when I di it by setting the control to disabled (enabled=.f. I think). however I fixed this by keeping it enabled but setting it to readonly in the data properties.

not sure if that works for checkboxes though, all mine are editable, it's only some textboxes that are not.

if you find it's something along these lines you may have to resort to a little code in the click or changed event if readonly doesn't solve it.

good luck.
