I have created a helpdesk form with chkboxes. As with
other VBA projects, is it possible to print "as form" so
I can see what the user checked, rather than the list of
the available checkboxes printed out with a -1 or 0 as
the True and False.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customprint.htm for various solutions to
the limitation that Outlook forms don't support WYSIWYG printing. The Word
template technique is the most flexible and highly recommended and can print
checkboxes as checkboxes.

Thanks! I used this and it works good, except the
portion of the form I created for free form text for the
user to describe their problem doesn't print out. I
noticed the properties for that field don't show a
checkbox for "Include this field in Printing and Save As"

How can I get that textbox to print? Thanks!!

You didn't say what printing method you're using.

I am using XPrint. Is that what you mean? Otherwise, I
just print to my default printer by clicking the printer
icon (???) Thanks!

You're running up against a limitation of XPrint, one documented on the page
I originally suggested. The workaround is to set a custom field to the value
of the Message or Notes field, in other words, to the body of the item.

I never recommend XPrint and usually use the Word template printing method
in my form projects.
