No.

With radios, check boxes and buttons, only the values of selected, (or
clicked), elements are submitted.

You could re-run the query in the "post-to" page and loop through the
recordset saying

If (Request.Form("cbxAddToInvoice_" & objRs.Fields("ID").Value).Count Then
    ' Update to true
Else
    ' Update to false
End If

Note you would need to change the name of the checkboxes on the original
page to incorporate the ID of the record the checkbox represents. You
probably have this in the checkboxes' value field at the moment. You can
change the value field to anything then.
