Look in profile.php, search for fetch_hook('profile_updateoptions') (around line 2411) to see how the values are stored.

Thank you so much. Sounds easy enough. One question though what is the purpose of the area for PHP Validation Code where you set the options? Thanks anyway for your help. I'll try it out and let you know how it went.
