I have a requirement where I have to display checkbox in each cell of
the column of report table. The intension is to to display the details
of the user in a chart( which is also part of the report ) depending on
which user checkbox is selected. How would I display a check box in a
cell.? Any ideas?

I do not know if this will help but here is an example that uses a checkbox
in the report to hide a column.
It requires that the report re execute though.
It was done with the feb 28, 2007 build.
