Each checkbox should have a value attribute:

<input style='border:none;' type='checkbox' name='chkEstimated' value="1" />

When you:

Request.form("chkEstimated")

You will either get 1 (string), or nothing if it wasn't checked.

If you mean when you post it to the server then it will only be posted if the checkbox is checked.

Request.Form("name-of-checkbox")

You can add a value attribute to your html markup if you would like but it is not necessary.
