Multiple tables/forms versus one table?

[Chris]

I have a table that contains five categories of checkboxes which total 130
checkboxes. Would it be better to have it designed this way or use a table
for each category, making one checkbox field and selecting from a combo box
which options are true?

IMHO "none of the above". It seems that you are attempting to build an
un-normalized solution/application. We don't have a clue regarding your
field names and purpose so it is impossible to suggest a solution that might
be more flexible and functional.
