I've done something similar, but with SPAN tags and CSS. Here is the formula for the field choices:
tmp := @DbColumn("":"NoCache";"";"Picklists";2);
@If(@IsError(tmp);"";"[<span>"+tmp + "</span>]|" + tmp)
I then surrounded the field in a div of class checkbox and used the following CSS to format the field.
.checkbox{padding: 0px;margin: 0px;width:430px;border : 0 none; border-style : none;}
.checkbox span{padding: 0px;margin: 0px;display:inline;float:left;width:185px;}
.checkbox input{padding: 0px;margin: 0px;float:left;width:30px; border : 0 none; border-style : none;}
.checkbox br{clear:both;}
The great thing about this method is that you can easily change the number of columns shown. Just change the columns as you normally would and modify the widths accordingly.
