Nicholas, I guess you now understand the difference between radio and checkboxes!
Robert, is right and wrong on #2. FileMaker Pro will accept the multiple inputs
(checkboxes) and make them return delimited in the field. How you format that field on
the FileMaker Pro layout is up to you (checkboxes, plain, pop-up, etc.), but it
doesn't make a difference how it gets the values from the form field(s). Robert is
correct in *reading* these delimited values back into Tango, if you need them
separated.
