Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm thinking that I could add a hidden box to each row with a value of 0 or
1 and that can be updated with the onChange event in javascript. That way I
will still have the user-friendly checkbox and all records would have a
corresponding value to be counted and used to direct subsequent code. Does
that sound like it might work?
