I have created a custom form with a list of items w/check boxes that a user
can check if applicable. However, when I send the form in an email, no checks
show up in the boxes. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

Did you bind each check box to a custom Yes/No field? Publish the form to the Organizational Forms library? Both are necessary to make such a form work.
 
No, and I'm not sure how to do that. I'll see what I can find in my help
section for this. Thanks for responding.
 
In design mode, right-click each check box that you've already added and choose Properties. Go to the Values tab of the Properties dialog and at the top, either select an existing yes/no field to associate with the check box or create a new one.

To publish the form, choose Tools | Forms | Publish Form.
