1. Blank the caption on the checkbox control
2. Add a field to the grids' recordsource to hold the "checkbox caption"
3. Add a column right next to the check box with its recordsource pointed at the new field
4. Change the contents of the field as desired

Kinda kludgy, but if I understand your needs, it may work.
