What would be a good way to deal with the following...

I have a form that has 5 checkboxes on it, lets say the checkboxes are for
categories, and more than one can be selected.

For example:
please tell is what brochure you want
[] car
[] boat
[] truck
[] SUV
[] beetle

I have been asked to provide statistics on how many total form submissions
there are per month.  This part seems pretty simple, I just add a new record
every time the form is sent.

They also want to know stats on which categories were picked as well.  I
don't know if I should create one table to store just the fact that a form
has been posted, and then another to store the 5 above values.

I don't see the 5 categories being changed, so I could create 5 fields in
one table, and tally them that way, or I could create one field and put the
actual value in that field and tally them that way.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
