Richard: A default state, to my knowledge, is only applicable when you are entering a new row of data into the table. The same as in 6.5 days when you defined a "default value" and it would only show up in a new row of data.
If you are editing a row of data, make sure that column has either the checked or unchecked value (T / F, Y / N, whatever you define as the values in the control). If the row of data has a null value, or a value other than the T/F, then sometimes the check box will show up as checked but greyed-out, meaning the control has no idea whether it should be checked or not. Do you think this is what's happening? If you're using a variable checkbox rather than a DB one, then make sure the variable is predefined, and initialized with one of the 2 values you have specified so it knows whether to display checked or not.
