I will try and get a screen shot up either today or tomorrow.  The
application and db are behind the firewall.

But, unfortunately, I have to use checkboxes.  The data displayed can
have 1-6 individual items within anywhere from 1 -12 tables.  Each
individual item needs the 3 choices - high, med, low.  And more than one
item in the table can have the same level, hence, the need for
checkboxes. 

What I'll probably need to do is develop the app so that the level is
mandatory if they choose an item.  This will probably be my only means
of pairing the item with the level of severity.

That's my thinking at this stage.

Thx for the input
