I agree that some kind of label/value needs to be present. Your solution works best if you want that value on the right side of the box, the space works for people who want it on the other side.
I'd let the users decide what makes sense to them, and stay consistent with that.

L.J., I think that's a much better answer than to have a space character for the selection value.
I also create checkbox fields with null labels, for two reasons. First, when you look at most examples of Windows GUIs, the checkbox is on the left and the text is on the right. We should always strive to do what's "normal" in user interface design. Second, when you write Run If qualifications, they make much more sense when the selection is some meaningful statement ( i.e., something other than a space character).
I usually make the database name a question and the selection value the answer, so to speak. For example:
($User Likes Pizza?$ = "User Likes Pizza")
Or:
($Show All Items?$ = $NULL$)
That way you don't have to look at the Run If and wonder what it means...

** The way I have seen (and personally use check fields) is to delete the label and set the only option to the value I'm looking for. It isn't possible to have a check field with no values....what would you then be checking when you checked the field?
