Shadow in check mark box

I have a check mark box that has a shadow within it. How do I get rid of it?
It is within an OPTION GROUP that has a control source tied to it. I have
another check mark box in the form that is not an option group and is tied to
a control source that has a YES/NO data type. This one appears fine (no
shadow within it). They both have the same attributes tied to them (Special
Effect=Sunken; Border Style=Solid; Border Width=Hairline), but one has a
shadow within it and one does not.
 
They're both enabled. Would it have anything to do with the DATA TYPE in the
table being YES/NO for one and TEXT (not number) for the other? I need to
change the data type from text to number because the check marks aren't
appearing in the form.
 
An unbound check box defaults to Null, which appears greyed.

If it is a stand-alone check box (not part of an option group), you can fix
this by setting its Default Value property to No.

The greyed state (Null) is a handy idea, so the box can represent 3 values:
- Yes (checked)
- No (unchecked)
- Don't know/Irrelevant (null).
If you want aun unbound check box to cycle through these 3 values, just set
its TripleState property to Yes.

Unfortunately, the Yes/No field in JET is not capable of handling the 3rd
state. You can still fudge it if you use a Number type field instead of a
Yes/No field, and the use a check box for it.
