  Hello,
  
  CheckBoxObject supports two state only. You may emulate the third state by the following properties:
  - Checked = true
  - CheckedSymbol = Fill
  It can be done in the CheckBoxObject.BeforePrint event handler.
  
  You also may try to use PictureObject instead. The possible way to do this:
  - put 3 picture objects (with checked, unchecked, unknown pictures), in the same location
  - use BeforePrint event handler to hide/show pictures (via Visible property) to display the picture you need.

  Thanks for the quick response. I will try out your suggestions.

  I'm sorry to bother you again.
  
  But I don't get the way how to work with the BeforePrint Event with the checkbox. I thought of something like: getting the current data (which is 0,1 or 2) and then set the properties according to it. But I can't find a way to read the current value of the field which is bound to the checkbox. Sorry again, as I think this is really a noob question.

  Do not bind the data to a checkbox. Use this code (BeforePrint event):

  int value = (int)Report.GetColumnValue("YourTable.Column");
  switch (value)
  {
    case 0:
      CheckBox1.CheckedSymbol = CheckedSymbol.Check;
      CheckBox1.Checked = false;
      break;
    case 1:
      CheckBox1.CheckedSymbol = CheckedSymbol.Check;
      CheckBox1.Checked = true;
      break;
    case 2:
      CheckBox1.CheckedSymbol = CheckedSymbol.Fill;
      CheckBox1.Checked = true;
      break;
  }
