Summary List of Checkboxes, and related fields. if ""true""?

I have quite a few checkboxes on a form, some of which if checked will expand to include additional fields like Quantity and Notes. I have seen the formula where you can display a list of checkboxes if marked true but would require a line of code for each checkbox and doesn't show how to display the following text in the fields if marked true. (Conversion/syntax error?); I am also getting errors on the code:

List(",",
If([E-flyer Requested],"E-flyer",
If([Napkin Holder Ads Requested], "Napkin Holder Ads Requested",
If([4x6 Table Tent Ads Requested],"4x6 Table Tent Ads Requested"))))
_
Is there a simple formula to list all checkboxes within a section, only if checked? (I have 39 checkbox fields, and would prefer not to have a line of code for each)

and if possible, also include the following fields, "Quantity" and "Notes"?

    You will need to have a long IF like this.  

    List("\n",
    If([E-flyer Requested], List(" ", "E-flyer","Qty: " & Totext([e-flyer Qty]), [E-flyer comments])), 
     and so on for each of the 39 checkboxes

    I suggest that you build up the formula in piece to get it debugged.  It basically looks good  but its difficult for me to debug without creating an app with all those fields.

    I suggest that you start with just a coupe IFs and then get that working first, and then paste in mote and get those working until they are all working.
