>>What I don't understand is how do you go from bit to number that will be stored in the field. For example, say only the 1st option box is selected. Does it mean that the value of 1 is set to the field? And if Option 1 and 2 are selected, the value of 3 is set to the field? And in case of all three options boxes, the value is 7?

I get it now. Thank you very much!
