Then you should have multiple categories field to store your choices I guess.

THX, so for example, if a contact / client is interested in

- football
- sailing
- motorcross  
I have to built 3 columns like “interested in 1” | “intrested in 2” | “interested in 3”  
and than in “Edit mode” or “New entry mode” I have to ask for all 3 of them in different fields?

There is no chance to get this interests with multi-choice Drop-Downlist in only one field, right?
