You should probably be using Form properties for what you are trying to do. Form properties are available throughout the form's lifetime, and can be references from outside the form by gaining an object reference to the form. To create a form property, in the form designer, under the Form menu, choose add Property. Then you can set the controlsource for your checkboxes to "THISFORM.MyProperty".
