A better way...
Define all checkboxes with the same name, but an unique value (the ID).
That way you get a list containing the values of all the checked Items,
The listLen() function will give you the number of checked boxes
for example:
<input type="Checkbox" name="MetCheck" value="#Met_ID#">
<cfoutput><br>#ListLen(MetCheck)# boxes were checked</cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#MetCheck#" Index="theID">
<cfoutput><br>#theID#</cfoutput>
<cfloop>
