November 13, 201510 yr FM 12 Adv Timing is a text field configured as a checkbox. Choices from a value list are morning, noon and evening. I can create separate reports for each choice by searching the value list, but I would like to create a single summary report that displays all the data. The break fields would be morning, noon and evening. I assume it's possible, but I can’t figure out how to do the find in a script.
November 13, 201510 yr If a record can be both "morning" and "noon" (and why else would you use checkboxes), then you cannot produce a report summarized by the timing, because a single record cannot appear in two places. Either create an individual record in a related table for each "shift", or look for another way (e.g. a script) to produce the report.
November 13, 201510 yr I am agree with "comment". Make three different fields for Morning, Noon and Evening. Then define them as check box sets with value list of "Yes" and "No" for example. Make the check box field as small as the user can only see the check box and not the text of check box. Then you will be able to make reports based on all the three fields if they contain "Yes" string.

November 13, 201510 yr Author I created individual records in a related table for each "shift". This works fine. Thanks for your quick help.
