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.
