how about a default value...so if you use a CHECKBOX_FIELD1 ENUM('Y', 'N')
DEFAULT N type of definition, then if box is not checked, then it will
deault to N otherwise a Y will override the default.
just a thought....dont' know if it will work for you or not...

If you want to have an answer for each item, you should use yes/no radio
buttons. With checkboxes you only get "yes" answer, as you are aware.
The assumption is that you could care less about "no" answers since you
are only interested in the "yes" set.
Checkboxes "reveal" yes answers, radio buttons can "reveal" yes or no
(or perhaps no answer if there is no default).
If you want to stick with checkboxes, then I would have a hidden field
for each checkbox you have. The hidden field could then be set with a
"yes" or "no" value via javascript and an onChange event capture.
