[MS_AccessPros] Logic/SQL/Checkbox issue.. I have 5 chkboxes need to know if more than 1 is chec

I dont have a lot of room to move on this issue because I am dealing with Fed Standards. I have 5 check boxes, as follows

American Indian or Alaskan native
Asian
African American
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
White

I pass the data several times with a typical query such as:

mysql = "select * from tbl_profile where (AI = True and AS = False and AA = False and NH = False and WH = False)"

I have to allow the partipant to click more than one box (Fed Standard)

I need a query to select when more than one of the boxes is checked.

I can't use a custom control because I must allow multiple selections.

If I have to I could put some logic in, but I was hoping to find a better way.

all i can see is something like

COUNT = 0
If AI = true then COUNT = COUNT + 1
If AS = true then COUNT = COUNT + 1
If AA = true then COUNT = COUNT + 1
If NH = true then COUNT = COUNT + 1
If WH = true then COUNT = COUNT + 1

If COUNT > 1 then
msgbox("I got more than 1 box")
endif

ANY SUGGESTIONS ?
