since it is simple, i can probably answer it.

I assume that you included the wrong snippet of html code since it would 
seem that you are using radio buttons, not checkboxes. Your browser should 
only allow you to select one entry in that case anyway, and that is the 
entry that would be inserted into the Filemaker field (or would replace the 
existig entry if it was an update action).

To use checkboxes use the html:

<input type="checkbox" name="01often" value="monthly">
etc.
