How can I create a form that allows me to select multiple records?

How can I create a form that allows me to select multiple records?

I don't want to use a datasheet form. I'd like my own design to appear to
the user.

Also, how can I use my own (unnbound) checkboxes in the detail zone
without being checked alltogether (for all records in the form) when I click
on one of them?
(Solving this, will also allow me to check which of the records are
selected, in case no other
way is provided above)

Both Datasheet and Continuous view allow you to select multiple records, but they
have to be consecutive. That is, you cannot select record 1 and 3 without also
selecting record 2.

You can't. You need a bound Yes/No field for this. You could use a MultiSelect
ListBox instead of a form.
