In Form's Load Event write this code:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Check1.Value = Checked
End Sub
I'm not sure what you are asking about in second part. Do you mean how to check if Checkbox is checked? If that's the case then use this:
Code:
    If Check1.Value = Checked Then
        'do something
    ElseIf Check1.Value = Unchecked Then
        'do something else
    End If
Or do you want to ask user if the check box has to be checked or not. In this case use this:
Code:
    If MsgBox("Check Checkbox?", vbYesNo, "Checkbox") = vbYes Then
        Check1.Value = Checked
    Else
        Check1.Value = Unchecked
    End If
