'Check all that apply' list box

[scra]

Would like to have the user the ability to 'check all that apply' method on the list box which allows to check and uncheck their choices. Suggestions?

I meant option group not list box.

You will have to "simulate" the option group.....put a series of check boxes inside a rectangle and add the appropriate captions.....

You cannot set an option group to have more than one items selected at a time... Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. (Albert Einstein)

scra is absolutely right, not only from a functionality point of view.
It's standard user interface design to use option buttons (radio buttons) for OR type choices (only one is selectable at any one time) and to use check boxes for AND type choices (pick as many as you like).
Such standards allow users to get that warm and cosy familiarity with programs, so they can use our work more easily. Always use a standard unless there's a defined and powerful case to do it any other way.
