I have a form which includes an 8 column table, each cell in the row has a Text Form Field with various lengths/output formats. My problems are two fold:



1) I need to allow users to insert additional rows if needed, the new row needs to contain the same empty Text Form Fields and I cant for life of me figure out how to do this.

2) I need to auto sum one of the columns by adding the bookmarks for each cell above in that column....if users add additional rows I'm lost.....

I've created a similar form for a similar purpose but that form has a fixed number of rows. I was unable to use {=SUM(ABOVE)} as some cells may remain blank. Adding default values to the cells was unacceptable for end users, so I went with blanks and writing an excessively long formula to add 15 bookmarks. Bulky and complicated, but it works...

I suppose users would need to make some condition "True" (entering "Y" in a Text Field, clicking a button, something) and then have the new row appear, 1 row per one click.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

For the summing problem, perhaps the simplest solution is to split the table (which will also make it easier to add the new rows), bookmark it, then use a formula field coded like:
{=SUM(MyTable C:C)}
where 'MyTable' is the bookmark name and 'C' is the column you want to sum.

Thank you, sir! I've been searching Word/Window forums for nearly a week, I don't know how I managed to not find that thread before. Also, thanks for the split table/code field advice, it is truly appreciated. I've actually read dozens of your replies to other users, when I saw your name in the response e-mail I read this morning, I was pleased knowing I would receive a helpful reply instead of another "I don't know how to answer your question so I would do something else...." answer that I've been getting elsewhere.

Thanks again!
