Patti,
 
You can use something like this:
CHOOSE voptions FROM #LIST +
'1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10' +
CHKBOX 10 +
TITLE 'Select options...' CAPTION 'Available Options' +
LINES 11 +
OPTION Themenane Longhorn
 
And it will allow you to select as many options as you need up to 10 as 
indicated by CHKBOX and the variable will contain the selected values separated 
by commas.
 
You can build the list of options at run time and use a variable instead of the 
list of items; the option must be in a comma separated format like this:
 
SET VAR vOne TEXT = '1'
SET VAR vTwo TEXT = '2'
SET VAR vThree TEXT = '3'
SET VAR vFour TEXT = '4'
SET VAR vList TEXT = (.vOne + ',' + .vTwo + ',' + .vThree + ',' + .vFour)
CHOOSE vOptions FROM #LIST .vList +
CHKBOX 10 +
TITLE 'Select options...' CAPTION 'Available Options' +
LINES 5 +
OPTION Themenane Longhorn
 
Lots of ways to do what you want.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Mark all that apply
 
Hello,
 
Is there a form control I can use for questions that have "Mark All That Apply" 
type answers?
 
If I have a question that has 10 possible answers, I've always created 10 
columns and had 10 checkboxes on by form.  But what I would be happy with is a 
text field that gives me a column that looks something like:
3
2,6,7,10
1,8
etc.
 
 
I don't really want to spend a lot of time doing it. Most of the time, I don't 
even use this data for anything other than passing though to our funding 
source.  I have dozens of these things and hate creating hundreds of columns 
for nothing.
 
Thank you.
