Thanks for your response. I understand what you are saying about the reasoning behind why I would want to obtain the value of a disabled checkbox. That reason is simple for me...i need it to meet the business requirement. There may be better ways of implementing the solution but that's not an option for me here.
It's good to know that this issues is there by design as i can now move ahead with a work around rather than trying to fix something that I've done wrong. Thanks again.
