I think you need to reconsider your form design altogether.
I think your HTML page (ie the one with the form) is going to lock up or

You could give each checkbox the same name (ex/ yes_no) with incrimental
values (1,2,3,...237). The result is a single variable, form.yes_no, to
define. The plus side is the result is a list you can just search for the
yeses (boxes that were checked). The minus side is the result is a
I was thinking:
