ahhhh -- brick walls gave made my brains go to mush ..... Could somebody help me? I'd really appreciate it.

Okay, this is what I would like to do.
Example:
sports -- ( x ) Soccer ( ) Tennis ( x ) Ice Hockey ( ) Ping-Pong ( x ) Baseball
(x) - for checked categories.

What I want to do is to record the above choices under 1 variable ($rec{'sports'}). I realize that radio buttons and check buttons won't let you do this. Is there any way to do this? Or do I have to record each variable like ($rec{'soccer'}) ($rec{'tennis'}) etc ....

In addition, if I'm going to have to record each variable individually, I wonder if it is possible to use a check box (or what ever) to record the above selected choices such as ($rec{'soccer.gif'}) to show an image instead of just text.
I saw somewhere in a FAQ that images are possible but is my reasoning correct.

Thanks everybody --- jdunes

Radio buttons don't work, but checkboxes should! Remember, though that the limitation is you can't search over the fields properly as DBMan doesn't yet support keyword searching (taking input and separating it into keywords).

Cheers,

Alex
