   I currently am developing a survey where I have created a question which can have several answers (using the check boxes).

   Example
   "List all the fruit you enjoy"
   Apples
   Pears
   Oranges
   Grapes

   With that stated, I would have thought that if a survey participant selected more than one of the options, within the result set, it would show an entry for each one they selected. Unfortunately, it groups them all together.

   Example: Participant # 1 selects Apples, Grapes, Oranges

   The survey shows apples;grapes;oranges as one entry, I would have thought it would have given each selection a credit (which would be MUCH easier when collecting and understanding the result set).

   So my question would be, how can I get a SharePoint survey to do this?

   Yes, the survey results are VERY lame. It's one of my pet peeves about the survey analysis. Who in their right mind would have set it up that way?

   You've stumbled upon a major flaw... not a bug, since it was programmed that way. The answer to your question is, you can't, out-of-the-box. Maybe Paul's got some magic going on this one because I know he's worked with surveys quite a bit.

   Any assistance I can get would be greatly appreciated. I am very surprised to have the option to have a multi answer selection, but not have the ability to create what I would think, would be the type of result set which most people would want. Again, anything you guys may be able to offer, would be greatly appreciated.

   Well, if you're really hard up, you could suck the results into excel and split it up by substring to get the results you are looking for.

   In my old days as a Perl hacker, this would have been a 5 minute job, but that was a long time ago...

   Yep, that is what I thought you might say...already working on that as it appears that it may be the only way of getting the result set I am looking for.
