The way I've always done this is this: On the form page:
<input type="checkbox" name="thisBox" value="1"> On the processing page: <cfparam name="form.thisBox" default="0"> ..the benefit of this approach is that, should the checkbox be checked on the form page, form.ThisBox is passed to the processing page with a value of "1". When it is _not_ checked, it is not passed to the processing page at all; and the param tells CF that the default value for form.thisBox is "0". Takes care of any problems. The easiest way to do it, especially since I to tend to store checkbox values as BITs in the DB.
