If the database you're talking about is FileMaker, remember that a checkbox
field is just a text field with some special disply characteristics. What
actually exists in the field is return delmited data.

So if your value list is Red, Green, Blue then a field could contain

Red

 or

Red
Green

 or 

Green
Red

Etc

Also - a notorious problem - given the same value list, your field could
display as having Red and Green selected but if you changed value list
definitions over the years the actual contents could be


Red
Green
Green
