Good Question.
You would have to come up with probably a numeric code where each digit would represent each option box. So maybe a binary, 1 or 0 for true or false, and then 6 or 12 digits. Then you would have to parse this data from the Database. What are the values of your option boxes? You would just have to string a concatenation function together with all the components.
Best practice would be to create a field in your table for each one.
With the Database Accelerator this would be even easier since it could map each control to a table field without anything additional in your form.
